– The newly introduced section includes four filters, allowing users to precisely categorize and refine their status updates.
THE FOUR NEW FILTERS ARE:
All: This filter displays all the status updates shared from your contacts, offering a convenient way to catch up on everything they have posted without missing any updates.
Recent: Designed to show the most recent status updates, this filter is particularly helpful for users who want to stay updated on the latest posts from their contacts without scrolling through older viewed updates.

Viewed: It allows users to display a list of status updates that have already been viewed, helping them keeping track of the content they have previously seen.
Muted: This filter helps users easily view muted updates. It keeps them separate from other filters, so it’s possible to check muted status updates without them cluttering the recent updates list.
“Introducing four new filters for status updates brings several advantages to users, enhancing their overall experience. Users now have greater control over the content they wish to see, allowing them to select the specific filter that aligns with their current preferences,” WABetaInfo said.
