Advanced search being tested in Whatsapp’s latest beta update

Washington: WhatsApp has introduced an advanced search mode among a slew of features in its latest beta update.

Now, you can quickly search for messages sent to your contacts using this feature. It will show up all shared images, GIFs and videos and not just text messages.

WABetaInfo, a website that posts regular news on WhatsApp updates, said users would have to update their WhatsApp version to 2.20.197.7+, to use this new feature.

The Facebook-owned messaging platform will test out the new feature for glitches among a select few who have opted to be beta testers, before releasing a full-fledged version for general users.
