SEARCH BY DATE - DRAG & DROP
In the article about the WhatsApp beta for iOS 22.24.0.77 update, we shared the details about a new feature available for some beta testers: the ability to search messages by date. Thanks to this feature, it is easier to jump to a certain date to search for messages.
Today, a new update is available on the App Store. The official changelog reports that this update brings several features from the previous versions of the app, such as a shortcut to open the chat with yourself, and the ability to hide your online presence, but there is also something else new:
The 23.1.75 update from the App Store now allows users to not only hide their online status but also the ability to search for specific messages by jumping to a certain point in the conversation. As you can see in this screenshot, you have to enable the search mode in a conversation in order to use the new option, if it's available for your WhatsApp account. Thanks to this feature, you have more control over your chat history and the messages shared in the past. In addition, you can finally drag and drop to share images, videos, and documents from other apps to your WhatsApp chats. As always, if you don't see one of these features, please wait for a future update.
The ability to drag and drop media and the search for messages by date feature have been released to some users that install the latest versions of WhatsApp from the App Store they are rolling out to even more people over the coming days.
