WhatsApp May Soon Introduce Popularly Requested Feature to Web Version
WhatsApp is developing a feature that will allow users to search for messages by date in online chats. This feature allows users to easily search for messages they sent on a particular day, as reported by WABetaInfo.
However, this feature is currently under development on WhatsApp and is expected to be rolled out to the web version in the future. According to screenshots released by the publication, the feature allows users to select a date on WhatsApp Web from the calendar interface. In particular, this feature has already been implemented in the version of the iOS app (WhatsApp beta for iOS 22.24.0.77), and therefore the same functionality can be transferred to the web experience as well.
However, WhatsApp Web is gaining popularity as it expands its feature set, and more and more people are using it for work-related purposes. According to WABetaInfo, this feature not only helps users save time in searching for specific messages, but also reduces their efforts. This can be especially useful for those who often need to refer to their old messages.
When is the feature expected to be released?
The post says that WhatsApp is currently working on implementing this feature and may release it in the near future. However, WhatsApp currently has no information on when this feature will be released.
In related news, WhatsApp released a new option that makes it harder for malicious attackers to deduce your location by shielding your IP address in calls. And now there’s a new section called “Advanced Settings” placed on the privacy settings screen. This new section includes a new Protected IP address in call option, which makes it harder for people in the call to safely infer your location through WhatsApp servers.
