WhatsApp has been the most popular communication tool on iOS, Android, and the web. The Meta-owned instant messaging network has been in use for some time and has evolved into an essential tool for daily communication. However, users used to have difficulty finding earlier essential messages, but this is no longer the case. WhatsApp has finally announced a new feature that allows users to search their messages by date on Android. The capability has been available on iOS and the web for some time.
This comes after Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg introduced the function, which allows users to search for past karaoke chats on WhatsApp. It demonstrates how users may search through their chats and retrieve specific messages on specific days just by entering the date.
