WhatsApp Tests Business Message Folder

AI-synthesized · Bias removed · Facts only

WhatsApp is testing a new feature that automatically organizes messages received from large businesses into a dedicated folder. The change aims to help users better manage their inboxes by separating personal conversations from business communications.

The messaging platform will move messages from larger businesses into this new folder a few hours after they are initially received, according to TechCrunch. This means that while the messages won’t be immediately hidden, they will be automatically sorted away from primary chats after a short delay.

Currently, WhatsApp does not specify what constitutes a “large business” triggering the automatic sorting. The company has not announced when this feature will roll out to all users, indicating it is still in testing phases. This move follows similar organizational features implemented by other messaging apps designed to manage high volumes of automated or promotional messages.
