WhatsApp has launched a new “Favourites” feature to help users quickly connect with their most important contacts and groups.
This update aims to simplify access by placing frequently contacted people and groups at the top of the chats and calls tabs.
Starting today, users will see their favourite contacts and groups highlighted in these tabs, making it easier to find and communicate with them. The feature will be available to all users over the next few weeks.

To add contacts or groups to your Favourites, you can use the Favourites filter from the chats screen to select the desired contacts or groups. You can also tap ‘Add favourite’ from the calls tab to choose which contacts or groups to prioritise. Alternatively, you can go to Settings > Favorites > Add to Favorites to manage and reorder your favourites at any time.
“This feature will ensure seamless communication with your top contacts, whether for quick chats or speed dialing from the calls tab,” WhatsApp stated.
The Favourites feature aims to reduce the time spent searching for frequently contacted individuals or groups, providing a more efficient messaging experience.
The Favourites feature follows WhatsApp’s earlier introduction of chat filters like “All,” “Unread,” and “Groups,” giving users even more control and convenience in managing their conversations.
