WhatsApp has finally passed away search by date With the calendar icon is an innovation that we know has been on the way since the end of last year and is now enabled for users, as the official WhatsApp and Mark Zuckerberg channels have officially announced.

Search by date is represented as: calendar icon in the search bar, and it’s kind of a way to jump to a specific day rather than searching, because it can’t be used simultaneously with text search for now.

Jump to any date in your chat

WhatsApp has already turned 15 years old and it is quite possible to save several years of chat historyIt is not easy to consult. For example, if you want to know what you were talking about with someone a few years ago, or if you remember a particular phrase to search in the search engine, or you will have to run your finger to scroll down. Stopping until you reach a certain moment.

Now there is a much faster and more accurate way: Search by date. you will meet him in chat search and not in WhatsApp’s global search. It appears with a calendar icon.

It opens when you press this icon system date picker, where you can choose any specific day without any limitation. It is not highlighted in any way whether there are messages on that day or not, and there are no limitations, so you can search for messages from 1915 if you wish. WhatsApp will direct you to the messages closest to that date.

When you select a date and press OK it will skip the chat history by or as close as possible to this dateIt’s a great way to search for messages when you’re not sure what they say but know when they were sent.

This search by dates also gives us a quick way to go to the beginning of the conversation without having to scroll forever. By choosing any day in 2008, when WhatsApp did not exist, you will have the conversation go to the beginning.
