You can soon filter your WhatsApp chats by custom lists

If you have different chat groups for work or family in WhatsApp, it might be a hassle to keep track of them all. While you can filter them by unread, favourites or groups, it may not be enough for some people. In that case, new filters would make a lot of sense.

And that's something WhatsApp seems to be working on, according to WABetaInfo. The site has spotted a new WhatsApp feature that allows users to create custom filters for the app's filtering system. For instance, you could have a 'Work' filter for your work-related chat groups.

This should make it easier for users to track various WhatsApp chat groups, instead of merely adding to favourites. Businesses, in particular, should benefit greatly from this feature. This feature is currently under development, so it's not even available to beta testers. But since the source already has a screenshot to prove the feature is real, we can expect it to enter beta testing soon.

Is this a feature you'd find useful? Let us know in the comments and stay tuned to TechNave for more news like this.
