WhatsApp is adding yet another way to organize all your chats. If you’re tired of struggling to find certain conversations, now you can slot them into custom categories, called Lists.
You can create and label lists dedicated to specific chats, such as those with your family or work colleagues. The messaging app will then display them at the very top of your inbox, alongside the “All,” “Unread,” and “Groups” filters WhatsApp rolled out earlier this year.
To create a list, tap the “+” icon in the filter bar at the top of your chats tab. You can then enter a name for your list and choose which conversations to add. WhatsApp will let you add both group chats and one-on-one conversations to your lists. If you have multiple lists, you can scroll horizontally on the filter bar to view all of them.
Lists start rolling out today, and I’m already seeing the feature on the Android version of the app. If you don’t see it yet, don’t worry, as WhatsApp says it will become available to everyone in the “coming weeks.”
