WhatsApp is currently testing new features aimed at enhancing user experience, including QR code-based access and refined chat filters. These features are part of beta testing on both iOS and Android platforms, focusing on simplifying chat management and device transitions.
QR Code-Based Chat Transfers
WhatsApp is working on a seamless QR code-based system for transferring chat history between devices. This method eliminates the need for Google Drive backups, offering users a faster, more intuitive option. Users can generate a QR code on their old device to transfer data directly to a new one by scanning the code. This approach is expected to save time and minimize the complexity associated with migrating chats during device upgrades. Currently, this feature is accessible only to beta testers, with broader availability anticipated soon.
Enhanced Chat Filters
Another notable feature is the introduction of chat filters, which allow users to quickly sort their conversations. These filtersāavailable for “All,” “Unread,” and “Groups”āenable users to locate specific chats or prioritize unread messages without scrolling through their entire inbox. The filters are designed to streamline the inbox, especially for users who manage extensive personal and group chats. These updates complement existing features like date-based search options, which further simplify finding messages, media, or links from specific timeframesā
