More news coming soon WhatsApp; as announced on the official blog, very soon users of the well-known instant messaging platform will have the ability to create lists to better organize their conversations.
THE chat filtersthe developers say, allow you to find messages more quickly and, at the same time, allow you to keep track of conversations. The reception received from the audience of users convinced WhatsApp to continue along this line. “Thanks to the Lists feature, you can now filter your chats using custom categories of your choice. Relatives, colleagues, neighbors: with lists you can focus on the most important conversations, whenever you need it”we read in the official press release.
For those who usually keep a considerable number of conversations this new feature could really be the turning point. Through the Lists it will be possible to create personalized categories in which to insert contacts. Apparently the news has been available since yesterday – Thursday 31 October – for all those who use the app regularly and in the stable version, while others will have to wait a few days, just a few weeks. This is an absolutely free feature.
But how does it work? The new feature should appear below the search bar. The conversations are organized by default in the “All” category, but if we tap on the icon on the right (+ sign) we can create a customizable category, complete with a name, in which to insert the chats we want. An example would be to create a “Family” or “Work” category. The Lists will only be visible to the user, who will be able to act by modifying them at any time.
“You can easily create and edit your lists by tapping the + in the filter bar at the top of the Chats tab, or edit the one you’re interested in by holding it down”is explained in
