Generally, we search for a specific WhatsApp chat by name or phone number. WhatsApp has announced that we can now search by date function to make it easier.
It is rolling out now on Android devices as we speak and is already available on iOS, Mac desktops and WhatsApp Web (web.whatsapp.com). Simply click into any chat, tap the contact or group name at the top, and click ‘Search’ to choose which date you’d like to skip. Using the date function when searching, helps to skip to all messages sent on that day.
On top of that, you can also look through your WhatsApp chats for media, links and docs. This is ideal when you're looking for a specific photo you sent to the group. You just have to go into any chat, tap the contact or group name at the top, and click ‘Media Links and Docs’ to toggle between the three.
So that's it, folks. If you want to revisit a message that made you smile, or double-check when you sent information to someone, search by date to make your chats easier to navigate.
