- WhatsApp could soon add a new chat filter to help users quickly sift through their inboxes.
- The filter is related to another in-development feature that will let users generate custom lists to organize their contacts and groups.
- It will narrow down chats and groups based on the contacts and groups included in user-generated lists.
WhatsApp seems to be working on an update for its Chat Filters feature, which rolled out to users earlier this year. The feature currently supports Unread, Favorites, and Groups filters, but the instant messenger could soon add another one to the mix.
The upcoming filter is related to another in-development feature that will let users create custom lists to organize their contacts and groups. According to WABetaInfo, WhatsApp will automatically add a filter chip next to the existing filters as soon as a user generates a custom list. This filter will share its name with the list, and selecting it will narrow down the inbox to chats and groups included in the list.
