WhatsApp Always looking to update its messaging platform to provide the best experience for its users. The novelty of the time refers to a functionality that is already used in the business version of Messenger that should be implemented in the standard version as well.
Therefore, all users of WhatsApp You can use the Chat Filter feature. In a nutshell, the functionality allows the user to use a button to filter what type of conversations they want to see. The option will always be visible in the standard version.
Button guarantees to find conversations in a more practical way, by simply choosing from these four options:
- Unread: Allows viewing of all conversations with unread messages;
- Contacts: Shows only conversations of people registered in your Contacts list;
- Non-Contact: Identifies conversations from people who are not registered in your Contacts list; And
- Groups: Allows you to view conversations in the groups you are part of.
However, it is important to note that the new feature will probably go through a series of tests in the beta version of the application until it is implemented in the stable version of Messenger. Therefore, it will still take a few months before the functionality is released.
The new version of Whatsapp is making some users sad
WhatsApp offers a web version so that users can access their accounts from their computers. Although alternatives often make people’s lives easier, the system doesn’t always work as expected.
In early April, several users complained on their Twitter accounts that browser Messenger was slow, even after the message appeared that there was no history of what had been previously sent to the cell phone.
According to the company, the problems are related to the new feature that allows the same account to be linked on up to four devices simultaneously. Implementation has been gradual since last year, but the impact of the process is still on users.

Before the new feature, the cell phone served as the main device to make it possible to access messages from a computer. It was as if the mobile device only “mirrored” the content.
However, now, all you need to do is sync your cell phone data with the message history for other devices. Thus, it is possible to access information without the need of a smartphone.
“When an add-on device [computador] connected, main equipment [celular] Encrypts a packet of messages from recent conversations and transfers them to the new linked device.
In short, it is as if the new device has received a “pass key” to download, decrypt and store the information contained on the cell phone. Thus, after processing, the computer erases this key, but the message remains associated with the history.
“Other data requires more than the initial transfer from the phone,” the company explains on its website, describing what that data is.
However, it is important to note that Messenger uses the synchronization method, which is used by cell phones when updating. Also, the tool comes into play when a user adds a contact, mutes a conversation, or marks a message as a favorite.
In addition, the synchronization method also has the option of stickers or stickers.
