The world’s most popular instant messaging application, WhatsApp, with billions of users from all around the globe, continues to introduce significant innovations. It has now come to light that the company, which is constantly testing new features, is working on an innovation that you might wonder why it wasn’t there before. Here are the details…
WhatsApp’s Favorites feature on the way
WhatsApp has been working on features that users have been requesting lately. In this context, it has recently emerged that the company will bring the Chat Lock option, which is available in the mobile version, to the web application. Additionally, it has been observed that the Passkey feature is being tested for iPhone users. Now, it has come to light that WhatsApp is working on the Favorite Contacts feature.
According to information shared by WABetaInfo, WhatsApp will be adding the Favorites feature to its iOS application. Currently in the testing phase, this new feature will allow you to mark certain contacts as favorites, making them appear at the top of your calls section. This will make it easier for you to access them.
At the moment, it is not known when this feature will be rolled out for everyone. Predictions point to the coming weeks. So, for now, there’s nothing to do but wait.
Additionally, it has been reported in recent days that WhatsApp is entering an era of messaging without accounts. Under the Digital Services Act of the European Union, which concerns technology companies, WhatsApp is preparing to take steps in this direction. With the update released for iOS in recent weeks, it has been revealed that work is underway on the cross-platform messaging feature. With this feature, you will be able to send messages to a friend who uses Telegram without a WhatsApp account.
