The battle that the two main instant messaging apps, WhatsApp and Telegram, are currently engaged in benefits us, the users. Thanks to all the new features and improvements that are added over time, the aim is to win over followers of each of the platforms.
This is something that happens with the alternative that Meta proposes to us, we refer to WhatsApp, since it does not stop receive updatesThis is precisely the case that concerns us in these lines with a function that has been available for some time in Telegram and that many expected in WhatsApp. And we must take into consideration that these types of platforms are currently used for both personal and professional environments.
Hence we can find Hundreds of active chats at this moment and that we should be able to organize in the best possible way. Otherwise, the main screen of our WhatsApp account can become a real mess. That is precisely where the functionality that we are going to talk about below comes into play and that the aforementioned Meta is currently testing.
Specifically, we are referring to the possibility of create custom folders where we can store our chats and organize them in a more effective way. In addition, we will have the possibility of assigning names to these folders so that this mode of use is even more useful. It is similar to the Favorites functionality that was launched a few weeks ago, but even more customizable. In addition, it is worth knowing that carrying out these tasks organizational processes it will be extremely simple.
This is something that some of the users selected to try out the new feature have already been able to see for themselves. Perhaps this will be more than familiar to Telegram regulars, where they have been able to do something similar for quite some time.
How to organize chats on WhatsApp
As we told you, using this new function will be very simple. At first we just have to access the configuration window of the application and locate the section called Lists. Here we can create a new one, which is precisely where we will add the chats we want.
Perhaps one of its great advantages is that we have the opportunity to assign a custom name to that new list so that we can locate it at a glance. To all this we must add that all indicate that the new functionality will arrive for both devices based on Android as well as iOS.
We just have to keep in mind that for the moment we will have to wait a few weeks until the feature of WhatsApp organization is available to everyone in the stable version of the application. This way we can categorize different chat groups based on their use or theme. For example, we can create lists for coworkers, friends, family, strangers, and anything else we can think of.
Obviously, in each of the lists we will only see the corresponding chats that we have added over time.
