WhatsApp, an instant messaging platform owned by Meta, has rolled out a new feature called 'favorites'. This feature is applicable for chats and calls and lets users access favourite contacts for quick access. This saves time as users will no longer be required to scroll through the endless list of active chats and recent call logs.
WhatsApp Favorite Filter: What is it?
The filter lets users focus on their favourites on WhatsApp. Users can quickly find the people and groups that matter most at the top of the calls tab and as a filter for your chats.
"Whether it’s your family group chat or your best friend, your ‘favorites’ will be the same across your chats and calls, so you can speed dial them from your calls tab too," the company said in a blog.
WhatsApp Favorite Filter: How To Use It?
- From your chats screen, select the ‘favorites’ filter, and select your contacts or groups there.
- From the calls tab, tap ‘Add favorite’ and select your contacts or groups.
- Or, simply manage your ‘favorites’ in your settings by going to Settings > Favorites > Add to Favorites, and you can reorder them at any time.
Earlier, the platform launched several updates to make calls across devices bigger and better.
Screen sharing with audio: Ideal for watching videos together, now when you share your screen, you can share your audio too.
More participants: Now you can have up to 32 people on a video call across all your devices.
Speaker spotlight: Easily see who’s talking with the speaker automatically highlighted and appearing first on screen.
