The development team of WhatsApp He has released an important update for iOS systems thanks to which users will be able to better extricate themselves among the notifications in the various conversations: with the introduction of a simple counter, each will be able to understand already at first glance where new unread messages are actually present and what the number is in each individual category. For the moment it is still a function in the experimental phase, at least as regards the iPhones, but it is clear that it is outlined as an enhancement of the chat filters.
The novelty, already present on Android systems from version 2.25.2.4, was found within the new beta update for iOS 25.5.10.72, released by WhatsApp and made available on Testflight: with this update, therefore, iPhone owners can also benefit from the presence of a small numerical badge next to each chat filter to understand in which categories there is the presence of unread messages. The counter therefore indicates the number of conversations updated within each filter, obviously including those created ad hoc and customized by the users of the famous instant messaging app by Meta.
In the event that above a filter For example, the number 3 is present, this simply means that in the conversations inside there are three new or in any case not yet read messages: this therefore avoids having to enter each filter to identify which conversations have been updated. If you expect answers in work chat, for example, you can check in real time the presence of updates, ignoring the notifications of conversations, perhaps private, at that precise instant non -urgent.
Certainly the implementation of this function may meet the needs of those who use the app for professional purposessince you can analyze every single category in which chats are divided: an important aspect, this, especially for companies that are used to managing a great volume of conversations of various kinds, such as “orders”, “assistance” or
“Financial advisor”. In the event that a “orders” filter has manually configured, the badge will show the number of requests to escape, allowing you to keep track of it in real time and satisfy them as soon as possible.
