WhatsApp, recommendations arrive on the platform: here's how they work


WhatsApp is preparing to welcome two important innovations on which the Meta development team is working to make the operations that users carry out on a daily basis easier or to introduce features that were previously inaccessible despite the numerous requests received.

We have already recently talked about the introduction, for the moment made available to a limited number of users of the Meta instant messaging app, of a function that will soon allow everyone to create custom lists as well as eliminating the preset filters and replacing them with others created specifically by us. Well, this option, which is being perfected for the mobile versions of the program, i.e. those for Android or iOS systems, has also been identified for the first time in the software’s web client.

This is an absolute novelty, especially considering the fact that the application is traditionally desktop of WhatsApp, despite the fact that it is used by numerous users every day, does not benefit from the options and new features that programmers constantly release for the mobile versions. Apparently, the situation could change as soon as possible: the Meta development team is in fact already working to finally allow rapid interaction between the various platforms precisely with regards to the creation or modification, with subsequent synchronization, of lists and of filters.

Thanks to this option, it will be possible to find all the lists or filters created on the mobile apps also within the web version: by doing this you will no longer have to manually recreate or synchronize every single change made on a platform to make it effective even on all the others. But the most important thing is that for the first time, even the interventions carried out on the desktop application will have primary importance: the creation of lists and filters can also be applied to the mobile versions with a simple click, making this step simpler and more immediate. .

The second new feature arriving for the millions of WhatsApp users is that relating to the recovery and management of incomplete messageswhich can be found in various sections of our conversations. The feature, included in the official changelog of the most recent version of the app on the Google Play Store, acts as a reminder, helping to remind us that we still have to complete and send a message.

At the top of the list of conversations, the software highlights all those chats in which there are texts written but not yet sent, identified thanks to the wording

Draft“. It is not known how long this reminder will remain, which remains highlighted when the program is restarted even after it is closed. The function should now be available to all users.
