WhatsApp Web: jump to next unread chat

Alt+U opens the next unread conversation so you can clear your backlog quickly.

Code to copy

// Press Alt+U to open the next unread chat
document.addEventListener('keydown', function (e) {
  if (!e.altKey || (e.key !== 'u' && e.key !== 'U')) return;
  e.preventDefault();
  const rows = document.querySelectorAll('div[role="listitem"]');
  for (let i = 0; i < rows.length; i++) {
    if (rows[i].querySelector('span[aria-label*="unread message" i], span[aria-label*="nieprzeczyt" i]')) {
      rows[i].click();
      return;
    }
  }
}, true);
