The WhatsApp platform is constantly evolving and news reaches its users at a dizzying pace. We now have a great value new option for message search in this app.
As the WABetainfo post points out, the Meta-owned platform will now allow you to search for messages by date. Indeed, it will be a novelty of great value when we want to find old messages, especially in long conversations.
WhatsApp allows you to filter messages by date in the latest version of the app
This new feature was discovered in the beta version 22.24.0.77 WhatsApp for devices iOS🇧🇷 It is, therefore, for now an option available only to participants in the test channel of this platform for iPhone.
Development of this functionality started about two years ago, but only now does it seem to be ready to reach users. With its implementation on the WhatsApp beta channel, it will only be a matter of time before it reaches the stable channel.
As we can see in the images shared by WABetainfo, when we search for messages we will have a new icon available. This, illustrative of a calendar, will be the place where we can define a date for this search.
So if you know when the desired message was exchanged, you can quickly jump to the date it happened. In case you are not sure, you can always choose an approximate date of that event and thus do without long minutes of Commute throughout the history of the conversation.
This is a novelty to apply both in large groups of conversations and in individual conversations. Your goal is the same, regardless of the number of interlocutors present in a group or conversation.
Users will know that this feature is now available on their WhatsApp app when they see the calendar icon. Until then, we ask for your patience, as this will be an option that will eventually be available to the millions who use this service on a daily basis.
