WhatsApp may eventually allow you to filter chats in order to keep your discussion list more organised.

WhatsApp has typically been sluggish to introduce new features to its platform and has provided a basic chatting experience. However, during the last year or so, the Facebook-owned service has put out a slew of new features for millions of its global users, including multi-device compatibility, self-destructing media and messages, emoji reactions, and so on. While WhatsApp is still not as feature-rich as Telegram, the experience it presently provides is far superior to what it offered a few years ago. Now, the firm is working on adding chat filters to its platform to make managing all of your discussions easier.

WhatsApp Business, which is available on both the desktop and mobile apps, already includes conversation filtering. You can filter chats by unread messages, contacts not in your phonebook, saved numbers, and groups. According to WABetaInfo, the messaging service now plans to provide the same controls to non-business users. The filter option will be present in the top app bar, where you can customise which chats are displayed based on your preferences.

The filter toggle is only visible to WhatsApp Business users when they use the search bar. However, the button should always be visible to regular users. While the screenshot above is from WhatsApp's desktop version, WABetaInfo indicates that the functionality will also be available on the Android and iOS apps. Given WhatsApp's history of testing new features for an extended period of time, don't expect the feature to be available anytime soon.

If you use WhatsApp frequently, the new filters may help you keep your discussion list in order. This may appear to be a minor modification, but it will assist you in rapidly finding the appropriate chat when you are in a rush. For the time being, you must wait until WhatsApp implements this feature.
