WhatsApp has recently added a significant new feature allowing users to create chat lists, as announced by the WABetaInfo portal.
This update enables users to organize both group and individual chats into named lists, enhancing the overall messaging experience.
However, users are limited to creating no more than 20 such lists.
According to the announcement, once a list is created, users have the flexibility to rename it, add or remove chats as needed.
This organization method is designed to make specific conversations more prominent than individual chats.
The source emphasized that this new functionality will simplify communication and ensure important information is not overlooked.
Last month, WhatsApp rolled out a new security feature designed to enhance user privacy by automatically blocking incoming messages from unknown accounts.
Named “Block messages from unknown accounts,” this feature is now available to some users through the Google Play Beta program.
Unlike random blocking, this new feature specifically targets accounts that send a high volume of messages in a short period, thereby allowing users to continue receiving important messages from new contacts while protecting their devices from spam.
To enable this feature, users can navigate to WhatsApp’s privacy settings, select the “Advanced settings” tab, and then choose the option to Block unknown account messages, according to WABetaInfo.
The app recommends activating this feature when users notice an influx of messages from unrecognized accounts, providing a safeguard against phishing attempts and spam.
The platform recently unveiled a new feature in its latest beta update for Android, aimed at improving user privacy and contact management.
This update, available through the Google Play Beta Program, introduces a contact syncing feature that enhances the way users can organize their contacts across different accounts.
This feature is designed to facilitate a clearer separation between personal and professional contacts, allowing each WhatsApp account to maintain its unique contact list.
