WhatsApp has introduced a long-awaited feature in its latest iOS update, allowing users to designate certain contacts and groups as favorites.
The Meta-owned messaging platform revealed the new feature with the release of WhatsApp for iOS version 24.16.79 on the App Store.
The newly introduced feature, first suggested earlier this year, lets users highlight key conversations by marking them as favorites. These favored chats will appear at the top of the calls tab, making them easier to access and serving as a way to streamline the chat list.

To use this feature, users should go to the app’s settings and find the new favorites section. Here, they can organize their list by adding, removing, or rearranging contacts and groups.
Along with the favorites feature, the update also includes a redesigned calling user interface (UI). The improved controls are intended to enhance usability by making calling functions more accessible and reliable.
Although the update has started rolling out, WhatsApp stated that it will be available to all users progressively over the next few weeks.
