SEARCH FOR MESSAGES BY DATE

In the article about the WhatsApp beta for iOS 22.19.0.73 update, we explained that WhatsApp was working on a new feature under development: the ability to search for messages by date. Thanks to this feature, it will be easier for users to jump to a certain date within a conversation. In reality, this feature was under development two years ago but WhatsApp only recently returned to develop it again.
Today, after releasing the latest WhatsApp beta for iOS 22.24.0.77 update on the TestFlight app, some beta testers can finally use this feature in their chats and groups!

As you can see in this screenshot, you need to use the search feature in a conversation: in case a calendar icon shows up, it means the feature is enabled for your WhatsApp account. Thanks to this feature, you can jump to a date to discover which messages have been shared within a certain conversation, and you can even jump to the first message. Note that if the calendar icon doesn’t appear, don’t worry: as always, it will be released to more users at a later date.

The ability to search for messages by date has been released to some lucky beta testers after installing the latest beta update from the TestFlight app and it is rolling out to more users over the coming weeks.
