WABetaInfo spotted a handy new feature coming to WhatsApp users, Android ones in particular. Developers are working on a “Favorite” tab for contacts. It will allow you to add, remove and rearrange contacts on the list for easier and faster access.

This would mitigate the need to scroll down whenever you need to message someone you regularly chat with. It’s also very convenient for voice and video calls.
There’s one big caveat, though, the feature is still in its infancy, so it’s not available even for beta testers. It will likely take time until the new tab makes its way to the end users, but by the looks of it, it may hit the Android version of the app first.
