In the latest beta version released today, WhatsApp has started showing the number of unread messages in the home screen filters. This significant improvement is available in version 2.24.23.4, which has been rolled out through the Google Play Store for Android smartphones. Here’s everything you need to know about the new feature coming to WhatsApp.
New Feature Emerges in WhatsApp Beta Version
With this new feature in WhatsApp’s home page filters, users can now check whether there are messages to be replied to based on each chat filter, allowing them to prioritize only the most important ones. You can see a screenshot of the new feature below.
While it may seem like a simple feature, this new message count indicator will be crucial for anyone managing multiple conversations or using WhatsApp for business. This way, it becomes much easier to keep track of unread messages in prioritized categories.
WhatsApp announced the Custom Lists feature. Now you can categorize your favorite chats and communicate in a more organized way.
Currently, this WhatsApp feature is only available in the beta version, but it is expected to be rolled out to the stable version soon. However, it looks like we may have to wait a few more weeks for that.
Lastly, it’s worth noting that there is currently no way to disable the message count in the app settings. Unfortunately, this might disappoint some users who find the new feature “crowded.”
What do you think about this small touch?
