Find Messages Instantly with WhatsApp’s New Date Search Feature!
WhatsApp, the popular meta-owned instant messaging app, has started rolling out a new search message by date feature that will make it easier for users to quickly search messages shared on a specific day in conversations.
“We noticed that WhatsApp is finally rolling out the ability to search for messages by selecting a date for WhatsApp Web. Whether they’re looking for a specific conversation about a memorable event or want to retrieve important information from the past day, this improved search functionality will certainly simplify the process,” WABetaInfo reported.
A screenshot shared by WABetaInfo revealed that a new calendar button will be available while searching for messages in a conversation, allowing users to quickly open a date picker panel to search for a message shared on a specific date.
This feature may only be available to some users who have previously joined the WhatsApp Web official beta program, allowing them to try beta features.
According to the report, this feature can provide users with several benefits as it simplifies the process of finding specific messages from past conversations. With the introduction of the date-based search feature, it is finally possible to quickly find messages from a specific date, which not only saves time, but also reduces the frustration of browsing through long chat histories.
“The feature is particularly useful when it comes to recovering non-text messages, such as voice memos, which can be complicated to retrieve because those without a transcript cannot be searched, or when users cannot remember the exact wording of the text message,” the report said. .
The search message by date feature is available to some beta testers of the latest version of WhatsApp Web who previously joined the official beta program, and will roll out to more users in the coming days.
