WhatsApp is constantly working on new features and updates to boost user engagement on the platform. According to recent reports, the Meta-owned instant-messaging platform will soon make searching for messages on chat a lot easier.

As per a report by WABetaInfo, WhatsApp will soon give users the option to search for a message on chat just by mentioning the date. The feature to search message by date was first spotted two years ago in 2020. However, it was no longer in the company's plans.

But by the looks of it, the tech giant is finally ready to roll out the feature.

In case an user remembers the date of the conversation but can't recall the texts or keywords to look for on the chat, then he or she can find the chat just by mentioning searching the date.

This upcoming feature will come really handy in discovering crucial conversations or recalling the chat that took place between users or in a group on a certain date.

According to reports, the instant-messaging platform is currently working on this feature for iPhone users, however, the tech giant will most likely introduce the feature on Android as well.

Meanwhile, WhatsApp will soon stop working on some of the older iPhone devices from October 24 onwards.

WhatsApp will stop releasing support for iPhones operating on iOS 10 and iOS 11. Basically, Apple users who own iPhone 5 and iPhone 5c need to make a note of this fresh report.
