WhatsApp brings ‘favorites’ for fast access to contacts and groups: How it works

WhatsApp has introduced ‘favorites’ which allows users to quickly access their favourite contacts at the top of the calls tab. It can also act as a filter for text messages, WhatsApp said as it started rolling out the feature. The feature will be available to all users in the coming weeks and using it people can manage their favourites from the app setting and reorder them at any time, WhatsApp said.

WhatsApp said, “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. 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.”
