WhatsApp Introduces Custom Lists to Help Organize Your Chats

Introduction

WhatsApp’s latest feature, “Lists,” provides users with a streamlined way to organize chats. This update comes as a part of WhatsApp's ongoing efforts to improve user experience, giving people more control over how they interact with their contacts. Custom Lists are designed to simplify finding important conversations without scrolling endlessly.

How Custom Lists Work

With Lists, you can categorize chats by specific groups like family, work, or friends. These Lists appear at the top of the inbox, alongside other filters such as “All,” “Unread,” and “Groups,” which WhatsApp introduced earlier this year. This feature allows you to pin your prioritized conversations and access them with ease.

Setting Up a Custom List

Creating a List is simple. Tap the “+” icon in the filter bar located at the top of your chat tab, then name your list and select which conversations to add. You can include both one-on-one and group chats in any List, and if you create multiple Lists, they’re easily accessible by scrolling horizontally.

Availability

The Lists feature began rolling out today for some users on Android, and WhatsApp has confirmed a phased rollout over the coming weeks for all users. If you don’t see it immediately, rest assured, the update will reach your device soon.

Conclusion

WhatsApp’s Lists feature enhances organization, making it easier for users to prioritize and access important chats. Whether for work or personal life, Lists help users maintain a structured messaging experience.
