WhatsApp, the messaging application owned by Meta, is developing a striking novelty that will allow users an exclusive breakdown for their favorite groups and contacts. In this way, people who use WhatsApp will be able to quickly access their favorite conversations, without the need to scroll and search for the conversation if it is not among the most recent ones.

At the moment, it is a beta update, so it is not yet officially operational. However, it is true that if the tests are successful, this service will reach the final version of WhatsApp and all users of the application will be able to enjoy this new tool.

WhatsApp and its new tab

As WabetaInfo advances, WhatsApp is testing in one of its beta updates an interface that adds a new “favorites” menu, in which the user can add the people and groups they want to enjoy quick and direct access. In addition, they can be arranged according to the user’s preference, so that their favorites tab is tailored to their liking.

This is an addition that can be valuable, if you consider that WhatsApp does not allow pinning more than 3 conversations at the top of its feed. With this, while the pinned conversations are kept in the main menu of WhatsApp, in this new tab you will be able to add more people and groups, although it is still unknown if there will also be a limited number.

Your roadmap as a reference

Nowadays, WhatsApp is the most widely used messaging application in the world, with users from every corner of the planet, and with a very high volume of traffic. That is why, at the top of the instant messaging services throne, it does not need constant innovations, and the basic WhatsApp service itself has not undergone major changes over time for that very reason.

In fact, one of the most recurring sources of inspiration for WhatsApp is usually to look at the innovations implemented by its competition to get closer to its position, with Telegram being a closely watched service (sometimes mutually), by the Meta application to replicate many of its innovations and copy them within the WhatsApp ecosystem.
