These will help you easily sort through your WhatsApp messages.

And once they arrive, it could make excuses of not responding to chats a lot harder.

As one of the tabs will have all your unread messages in one place.

According to a leaked screenshot obtained by WABetaInfo, there are two more buttons for companies that use WhatsApp as well.

These allow you to sort messages between personal and business.

But the brand new feature is still being developed by Meta at the moment.

So it’s not clear when – or indeed if – the feature will launch.

If you’re very impatient, signing up to the WhatsApp beta is an easy way to get features first.
