Meta-owned messaging platform WhatsApp is in the midst of testing a new feature that would allow users to filter conversations based on categories. Spotted in the latest version of the WhatsApp beta for Android, read on to find out more about the function. 

As shared by WABetaInfo, the feature was spotted in WhatsApp Beta for Android version 2.23.14.17. Specifically, the feature allows users to easily filter the chat list by three categories.

These include options for organising chats based on unread messages, personal conversations and business-related chats. Users can filter their conversations right within the chat list, located at the top. It replaces the tabs that were previously located there. 

Of course, given that the app is merely testing the feature on its Beta version, it doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s confirmed to roll out to the full version of the app. Hence, we just have to wait for an announcement from WhatsApp in the near future.
