I believe we've all had that one experience where we scrolled endlessly through WhatsApp to find that group chat or important conversation. I used to waste so much time digging through my messages until I figured out how to organise my chats better.

I'm talking about the "Lists" feature. This feature was introduced in October 2024, allowing users to create custom categories for their conversations. It builds upon the earlier addition of chat filters that help you streamline your conversations.

That being said, here is a step-by-step guide to creating a chat list on WhatsApp.

WhatsApp Introduces Chat Filters to Organize Your Inbox
The feature allows users to easily organize their chats into categories such as unread, contacts, non-contacts, or groups.

Steps to Create a WhatsApp Chat List (On Android)

Step 1: On the Chats tab on WhatsApp, click the "+" button in the filter bar at the top

Step 2: Select the "List name" input space to give the list a name, then click "Add people or groups"

Step 3: Select at least one contact or group, then click the green checkmark button on the bottom right. Hence, you can access your newly created list via the filter bar at the top of the Chats tab

Steps to Create a WhatsApp Chat List (On iPhone)

Step 1: Select the "+" button in the filter bar at the top of the Chats tab 

Step 2: Click the "List name" input space and provide a name for the list, then select "Add people or groups"

Step 3: Select at least one contact or group, then tap the "Add" button at the top right

Step 4: Now, click "Done" in the top right corner. You can then access your list from the filter bar at the top of the Chats tab

Conclusion

Creating a chat list on WhatsApp is a simple but powerful way to organise your conversations and stay on top of important messages. It helps streamline communication, especially when dealing with a large number of contacts or groups. By creating a list, you can make WhatsApp work more efficiently for both personal and professional use.
