Alert! WhatsApp Users To Soon Have This Important Feature, Check Here

WhatsApp is working hard on several new features for its users one of them is “search messages by date”. The instant messaging platform is reportedly working on this feature and will soon roll out to the public. With the launch of this feature, WhatsApp users will be able to directly jump to a chat that happened on a specific date by tapping on a new “calendar icon” in the app.

According to reports by WaBetaInfo that the feature was first spotted two years ago, but after testing it for a while, WhatsApp stopped the plan to launch it. “After releasing the WhatsApp beta for iOS 22.0.19.73 update from TestFlight, we discovered that WhatsApp is finally planning to release the feature in the future again,”

How will the feature work on WhatsApp? 

WABetaInfo shared a screenshot to give an idea of how this update will work, once functional and released for use.

Use keywords to look for a message

At present, users searching for a message can do so by entering a keyword. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

• (1.) Go to WhatsApp and, from the ‘Chats’ tab, scroll down to show the ‘Search’ bar.
• (2.) In it, type the word or phrase you are looking for.
• (3.) Tap a result to open that message in that chat.

This upcoming feature will come really handy in discovering crucial conversations or recalling the chat that took place between users or in a group on a certain date.

In case an user remembers the date of the conversation but can’t recall the texts or keywords to look for on the chat, then he or she can find the chat just by mentioning searching the date.
