WhatsApp is working on introducing new solutions that allow users to prioritize their conversations, offering them greater control and efficiency in their messaging experience.
One of these new features in development is the ability to designate favorite contacts, which will appear with a specific chat filter in a future update of WhatsApp Web.
The 24.3.10.70 update of the WhatsApp beta for iOS already brought that WhatsApp was working on a new feature that would allow users to designate favorite contacts.
This enhancement is designed to quickly make calls with selected contacts directly from the calls tab, as a phone call will be just one tap away there.
Although this feature is still in development in the iOS app, it seems that WhatsApp is also working on a similar feature to offer users a custom filter for their favorite contacts.
As you can see in the attached screenshot, WhatsApp is in the process of introducing a feature that will allow users to filter the chat list by showing their favorite contacts in the future.
Users will have control over choosing their favorite contacts, as they will be able to manually add the people who matter most to them and easily reach them through a specific filter.
The feature to choose favorite contacts is under development and will be available in a future update of the web client. We hope to publish another article as soon as we have new information about this feature to share with you.
