WhatsApp users on iOS may soon be able to search messages by date

Last week, WhatsApp made it easier for users to make UPI payments on the platform. Now, the developers are working on a new feature for those on iOS that might let users sort messages by date.

According to a post by WABetaInfo, WhatsApp might soon let iOS users search for messages on a particular date. The feature is currently available on WhatsApp beta for iOS 22.0.19.73 update from TestFlight.

It looks like WhatsApp has added a new calendar icon which might show up when you are trying to search for a particular message in a conversation. Clicking on the button opens up a calendar view where users will be able to pick a date.
