# Messaging App Chat Organization WhatsApp Keeps Conversations Organized with Chat Filters By Amy Duong | Published 2024-04-17 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chat-filters References: [engadget](https://www.engadget.com/whatsapps-new-chat-filters-make-it-easier-to-find-unread-messages-123003086.html)  [WhatsApp](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keep-in-chat) is making the [organization process of conversations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pinfold) more intuitive with the Chat Filters. The latest update allows users to [sort their messages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smartsms-organizer) based on different variables. It can be separated by Groups or Unread to keep it all in one place. Groups will also show any subgroups that users are a part of from the Communities. Before this, users can use their search bar at the top to find a certain conversation. This update makes the process much more seamless and also allows users to leave conversations marked unread to be returned to at a more convenient time -- this can then be found in the 'Unread' section afterward. The sort options are integrated to the top of the messages without having to sort through settings.
