WhatsApp users can now look forward to a new feature that allows marking certain chats and groups as favorites, making it easier to keep track of important conversations.
As announced earlier, WhatsApp, owned by Meta, is rolling out the much-awaited “favorites” feature. This update was recently confirmed with the release of WhatsApp for iOS version 24.16.79 on the App Store.
The new feature enables users to select specific contacts and groups as favorites, which will be conveniently placed at the top of the calls tab. This makes it simpler to access frequently used chats and manage your conversation list.
To start using this feature, users need to go into the app settings and find the new “Favorites” section. From there, it’s easy to add contacts and groups to your favorites list, ensuring they’re always within quick reach. You can also rearrange, add, or remove favorites as needed to suit your preferences.
Additionally, the update brings an improved calling interface, designed with updated controls that are more intuitive and easier to use. This enhances the overall calling experience, making it more reliable.
If these features aren’t available on your account just yet, don’t worry—they should be rolling out over the next few weeks.
