Finally, WhatsApp is enabling users to access these two news features.

What’s new in the App Store is WhatsApp for iOS 24.16.79.

As stated by WABetaInfo, users may now designate specific individuals and groups as favorites. These favorites will show up as a filter in the chats list and as a prominent display at the top of the calls page.

Adding, managing, and rearranging favorites is a simple process for users when they navigate to the favorites section of the app and use this feature.

A better calling user interface with new controls that are more accessible and intuitive is also included in the upgrade, along with the favorites feature.

The features are now ready for download, however as mentioned in the official changelog, certain accounts might get them over the next few weeks.

Users of WhatsApp are now able to prioritize their most important contacts and groups for easier access with the help of the favorite conversations and groups feature.
