About chat filters
Chat filters allow you to quickly organize and find your chats. You can select one of four filters at the top of your Chats tab:
- All: The default view of all your messages.
- Unread: Chats with messages that you mark as unread or haven't opened yet.
- Favorites: Chats from your favorite contacts.
- Groups: All your group chats in one place.
When selected, filters are highlighted in green. Filters remain applied until you change the filter view, or exit and re-open WhatsApp.
Notes:
- Filter names are pre-set and can’t be changed.
- Chats can't be reorganized within the All, Unread, or Groups filters.
- Contacts added as favorites appear in the Chats tab in the Favorites filter, and in the Calls tab under Favorites. Learn more in this article.
