WhatsApp introduces custom lists feature for all users worldwide

WhatsApp recently introduced a feature that allows users to categorize certain groups and individual chats as favorites for quick access. This was accessible via a tab in the chat filter bar next to tabs like unread, groups and everything. Now, the company has announced that it is rolling out a custom lists feature, which will allow users to create and edit customizable contact lists for easier and more streamlined access. These lists can contain groups as well as one-on-one chats, similar to the favorites feature.

Custom WhatsApp lists

WhatsApp announced in a blog post Thursday that it is rolling out a custom list feature globally. It will be available to all users in the coming weeks. This feature helps users categorize their contacts into individual lists, such as family, work, neighborhood and more. These can include groups as well as one-on-one chats.

To create a list, WhatsApp users must click the button “+” icon on the filter tab. They can name the list and then add how many groups or contacts they want to be in. These lists will appear next to the All, Unread, And Groups filters.

This feature is expected to help people streamline chats and conversations on the instant messaging app. WhatsApp users can edit these lists at any time. To edit an existing list, users must long-press the name tab on the filter bar.

Meanwhile, WhatsApp was reportedly seen working on a stickers feature. According to WhatsApp feature tracker WABetaInfo, the app is testing the option that allows users to create a new custom sticker pack, including options like Add to sticker pack, Add to favorites, And Edit sticker. Meta’s instant messaging app is also said to be testing Snapchat-like camera effects, such as filters, backgrounds and other features, which can be enabled or disabled through the app. Privacy institutions.
