‘Favorites’ Contacts and Groups Can Be Set on WhatsApp for Easy Access; Here’s How to Use It
A new feature that helps users locate the individuals and groups that are important to them has been released by Meta-owned WhatsApp. Users can now rapidly sift through chats by adding friends and groups as favorites thanks to this new functionality.
Furthermore, WhatsApp users may now speed-dial their loved ones by extending the favorites filter to the calls tab. The new tool, according to the corporation, will be made available to all customers in the upcoming weeks. With the exception of talks marked as favorites, all conversations are hidden by the recently released functionality, which serves as an extra Chat Filter.
