WhatsApp has introduced a new “Favourites” feature designed to streamline access to frequently contacted people and groups.
This update allows users to quickly locate and connect with their most important contacts through the app’s chats and calls tabs.
Starting today, users can see their favourite contacts and groups at the top of the calls tab and filter them in the chats tab, enhancing the overall user experience. The new feature will be rolled out to all users over the coming weeks.
To add contacts or groups to your Favourites, use the Favourites filter from the chats screen to select the desired contacts or groups. You can also tap ‘Add favourite’ from the calls tab to choose which contacts or groups to prioritise. Alternatively, navigate to Settings > Favorites > Add to Favorites to manage and reorder your favourites at any time.
This feature will ensure seamless communication with your top contacts, whether for quick chats or speed dialling from the calls tab. WhatsApp’s Favourites feature aims to reduce the time spent searching for frequently contacted individuals or groups, providing a more efficient messaging experience.
The Favourites feature is a great enhancement following WhatsApp’s previous introduction of chat filters such as “All,” “Unread,” and “Groups.”
Now, with the addition of WhatsApp Favourites, users have even more control and convenience in managing their conversations.
With this update, which has been tested on iOS, Android, and the web, WhatsApp is improving user functionality and satisfaction.
