How to add add custom filters on WhatsApp? 

The new custom filters can be added in addition to the already present, All, Unread, Favourites and Groups list available on WhatsApp. A custom list can be added by tapping on the ‘+’ icon in the filter bar. WhatsApp provides users the ability to add any custom names to the lists such as family, friends, annoying relatives and so on, without notifying the person on the other end that they are part of a custom list. 

WhatsApp also allows users to edit the list, such as adding or removing contacts or changing its name, by long pressing on that particular list in the filter bar. Users can create up to 20 custom lists and WhatsApp allows them to add both groups and individual chats to any list they create.
