Meta’s popular messaging app, WhatsApp, has rolled out its latest feature: custom lists, an upgrade to the existing chat filters launched earlier this year.
What Are Custom Lists?
The new custom lists feature allows users to categorize their chats into personalized groups, whether for family, work discussions, or neighborhood connections.
How to Use Custom Lists
Creating a custom list is simple:
- Tap the plus icon in the filter bar at the top of the Chats tab.
- Add individual or group chats into custom lists, similar to how favorites are managed.
- Edit or manage lists by long-pressing on any list in the filter bar.
