WhatsApp Feature: A new feature is coming soon to WhatsApp. It will automatically move business chats into a separate list, making it easier to manage your conversations.

WhatsApp Feature: Chatting on the messaging platform WhatsApp is about to become even more convenient. To help eliminate spam and improve chat management, the company is currently working on a new feature. Once introduced, this feature will automatically organize all chats associated with business accounts into a separate section. This means business chats will no longer appear in the main inbox, which will instead display only individual and group chats. This will simplify chat management for users, ensuring they no longer have to scroll all the way to the bottom of their list just to message a friend or family member.

Work Underway on the New WhatsApp Feature

According to reports, the company is currently developing this feature, and it is not yet available for beta testing. It is expected to be rolled out for testing purposes within the next few weeks. This feature will introduce a dedicated list specifically for business chats on WhatsApp. This will allow users to focus more effectively on their personal communications. Business chats will automatically be moved to this separate section 24 hours after they arrive in the WhatsApp inbox; users will not need to take any manual action for this to happen. This will provide significant relief to users who frequently receive business-related messages throughout the day.

WhatsApp Has Also Rolled Out the 'Username' Feature

WhatsApp regularly introduces new features for its user base. Recently, the company began rolling out a "Username" feature. Much like on Facebook and Instagram, users will now be able to set a unique username on WhatsApp. Consequently, if someone wishes to contact you, you can simply share your username instead of your phone number. This helps keep your personal phone number private. Users will also have the option to set the same username on WhatsApp that they currently use on Facebook or Instagram. WhatsApp to Introduce Paid Subscriptions

For quite some time now, reports have been circulating that WhatsApp may soon introduce a new subscription plan, which will be known as 'WhatsApp Plus.' Users who opt for this subscription plan may receive the option to pin additional chats. Furthermore, paid users could gain access to features such as 14 different app icons, customizable tabs, options to change the colors of buttons and filters, exclusive stickers, custom ringtones, and interactive message reactions. However, core functionalities—such as chatting, calling, and file sharing—will continue to remain free, just as they are currently.
