WhatsApp has begun rolling out updates to improve how users manage their chats and discover new channels.

New Chat List Management

A redesigned interface for managing chat lists is now available to some beta users via the latest WhatsApp beta for Android (version 2.24.25.8). Key updates include:

• Main Filters: Easy access to filters like “Favorites” and “Various Conversations” at the top of the screen.
• Custom Filters: A new button for creating and managing custom chat lists.
• Restore Preset Filters: Options to bring back deleted filters like “Unread” and “Groups.”
• Modern Design: A cleaner, more consistent look with other app sections like “Security” and “Mail.”

This update simplifies the app’s layout and enhances accessibility for both personal and group chats. The feature is gradually being rolled out and will soon be available to more users through the Google Play Store.

QR Code Feature for Channels

WhatsApp has also introduced a way to easily share and follow channels using QR codes. With this feature:

• For Channel Owners: Generate unique QR codes for your channels and share them digitally or on printed materials like posters or business cards.
• For Users: Simply scan a QR code to instantly follow a channel, eliminating the need to copy and paste links.

These updates aim to improve usability and bring a more seamless experience for managing chats and exploring new features. Keep an eye on your app for these exciting changes!
