WhatsApp prepares a novelty that will help you a lot when searching for messages

What did you say on March 4, 2013?

WhatsApp has been with us for more than a decade and if you have been careful with your backups, it is possible that accumulate years of messages in your history. Finding something becomes increasingly difficult, although the application has improved its search lately with filters to easily find unread messages, those that have photos, videos, links, GIFs, audio or documents.

Now, as for going back in time, WhatsApp doesn’t have search by date, but it has been working on it for at least two years. After a long period of silence, we learned via WaBetaInfo that the engineers are back at work on search by date, which will show up as a calendar icon when doing a search. By pressing, we can choose a specific day. It is an implementation very similar to how the search by date works in Telegram.

In this way, you can jump to a specific date in the conversation, something that until now is not possible without a good dose of horizontal scrolling. If today you wanted to jump to what you said in 2013, it would take you a long time to scroll up like crazy.

WaBetaInfo has found this hidden novelty in WhatsApp Beta for iOS version 22.19.0.73, although it is foreseeable that it will also reach Android and the rest of the platforms. Unfortunately we don’t know if this time it will end up reaching users or if it will be paused again for another two years. Have to wait.
