As you can see in the screenshot, beta testers might spot a new row with chat filters at the top of their conversation list. These filters let users sort their chats by displaying only specific types. WhatsApp is introducing a filter specifically for showing unread conversations and another one for listing all group chats.
Earlier, the app experimented with filters for Personal and Business chats, but it appears these filters have been shelved for now. It's worth noting that the filters are situated under the top app bar, so it might require some scrolling down the chats list to notice if this feature is available for your account.
Chat filtering helps users organize their conversations, making it easier to find and access specific chats without scrolling through a long list of messages. This streamlined approach makes communication management more efficient for users.
