WhatsApp's New Custom Chat Lists - What It Means for Users

The new feature of Custom Chat Lists brings a new dimension to the organization in messaging.

Users will have the ability to organize their conversations into specific, personalized categories. This tool can be used to make different lists for various aspects of life-friends, family, work, neighbours, or any other list. It helps in making chats more accessible and reduces the unfunny mix of personal and professional messages. The feature is being provided to give better control, a tidier chat layout, and an experience tailored to individual needs.

These Custom Chat Lists aid in intuitively organizing chats. When opening the Chats tab, tapping the + icon on top of the filter bar initiates the process of creating a new list. However, at a moment's notice, one might want to change any list by naming, renaming, ordering, or deleting altogether- that is as easy as creating one when communication priorities have to be updated or altered. Once the lists are created, adding contacts or group chats is relatively easy. This can be done by long-pressing on the chat and then selecting the option to add it to a desired list. Whether it's chatting with colleagues, family, or that club you attend locally, this feature makes personalizing communication management possible.
