How does “Search by Date” work?
To take advantage of this new feature, users open a chat, tap the contact or group name at the top of the screen, then select the Search option.
They can then select a date to jump to in their chat history.
This makes it possible to quickly find conversations from special days or reach important messages without long scrolling.
In addition to the “Search by Date” function, WhatsApp also offers extensive search options within chats.
Users can still search for media, links and documents, which is particularly useful when looking for a specific photo or file shared with friends or in a group.
By selecting the contact or group names and clicking Media, Links, and Documents, users can switch between search options.
Benefits of the new search function and further updates for users on WhatsApp
This new feature not only makes it easier to search for specific messages, but also improves the user experience by saving time and making it easier to organize chat histories.
The ability to jump directly to messages from a specific date is a huge advantage for anyone who uses WhatsApp as their primary means of communication for personal, professional or educational purposes.
In addition to the “Search by Date” feature, WhatsApp has introduced other innovations and security warnings that improve the user experience while increasing security.
WhatsApp strengthens data protection by introducing screenshot blocking for profile photos to prevent unwanted copies.
In addition, users can now change the color of the app design, which offers more personalization options and the police are currently warning about a new scam on WhatsApp.
Users should pay attention to suspicious messages and report them to protect themselves and others, as NEXTG.tv reports.
