WhatsApp is testing an Offers & Updates folder that would pull big-business messages out of your main chat list, so family and friends are easier to find.
WhatsApp is testing a new folder called "Offers & Updates" that would move messages from large businesses out of your main chat list. If it launches, chats with family and friends could be easier to find. The feature is still in testing, according to a recent report.
Many people get regular messages on WhatsApp from banks, airlines, delivery services and other big companies. Over time, those chats pile up and bury personal conversations. The new folder is meant to hold promotional content, discount codes and delivery updates instead.
Messages would move into the folder after a set amount of time. WhatsApp is testing different time periods, and the longest is 24 hours after a message arrives.
The report says WhatsApp may later extend the folder to messages from smaller companies. That has not been confirmed.
There is no word yet on when the feature will reach all WhatsApp users, or whether it will launch at all in its current form.
WhatsApp may soon sort big-business messages into their own folder, and you can switch it off in settings if you would rather keep everything in one list.
