WhatsApp announced the rollout of the custom chat list feature in an official blog post earlier this month. At that time, the new feature was set to be gradually released in the coming weeks. However, the Meta-owned company has not released the feature for iOS users with the latest WhatsApp for iOS 24.24.77 update on the App Store. Here’s what you need to know about the feature.
WhatsApp Custom Chat Lists Now Available on iOS
The company has yet to roll out the feature on Android, but custom chat lists offer improved chat sorting for iOS users. With the latest feature, users can create custom lists of relevant contacts in a specific circle, such as friends, family, coworkers, etc.
These custom chat lists are displayed next to the already-existing All, Unread, Favourites, and Groups tabs. WhatsApp users can conveniently check important updates and unread messages from a particular group of contacts through this chat list without having to scroll through their entire inbox.
These chat lists differ from the Favourite tab, which allows users to organise all important chats in one place. However, with custom chat lists, users get more granular control over how they want their conversations to be organised.
How to Create Custom Lists on WhatsApp?
Follow the steps below to create custom chat lists on your iPhone.
- Tap the + icon in the filter bar at the top on WhatsApp.
- Tap Continue on the contextual menu that pops up.
- Enter the list name, such as work, family, friends, etc.
- Click on Add people or groups and select the chats you want to include. The new list will appear in the top bar.
Now that WhatsApp custom chat lists are available on iOS, the feature will soon be rolled out to Android users.
