Ah, the old days when you simply needed to dial a single number to call your wife, brother, or best friend. 

WhatsApp's latest system update, thankfully, is a bit of a blast from the past.

Meta announced on Tuesday that you can find your priority people and groups at the top of your calls tab and as a filter for your chats.
