WhatsApp launches ‘Favorites’ for quick access to most important contacts and chats

WhatsApp has always been the go-to platform for staying connected with friends and family. Now, it’s making it even easier to keep your most important conversations at your fingertips with its new ‘Favorites’ feature. This new feature allows users to quickly access their top contacts and chats, ensuring that you never miss an important message again.

The ‘Favorites’ feature is designed to streamline your messaging experience by prioritising the people who matter most to you. Whether it’s a best friend, family member, or important group chat, you can now mark these as favourites, making them readily accessible. This addition is expected to enhance how we manage our daily communications on WhatsApp.

“Focusing on your favorites just got a lot easier on WhatsApp. Starting today, you can quickly find the people and groups that matter most at the top of your calls tab and as a filter for your chats,” the company announced.

Whether it’s your family group chat or your best friend, your ‘Favorites’ will be the same across your chats and calls, so you can speed dial them from your calls tab too.
