Meta's messaging app has added an option to search by date. to find past messages. Here's how you can do it step by step.

If you were looking for messages on a certain date, you can now do it in the popular messaging app:

Meta, the company that owns WhatsApp, has introduced a new feature called "search by date". It improves the app's search capabilities and allows users to locate messages based on specific dates.

The update was announced by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg himself on his WhatsApp channel. The "search by date" feature is now also available in Israel for all Android and iPhone users.

How can you do this?

1. Open the desired chat, personal or group

2. Access the calendar: on Android devices, click on the three dots located on the right edge of the corner of the screen. On iPhones, tap the contact or group, search, then the calendar icon.

4. Navigate through the messages that will appear from that day.

In addition to the "search by date" feature, WhatsApp recently released four new text design options that include bullets, numbered lists, closed quotation marks, and inline quotes. These join the existing formatting options that include text highlighting, font italics, and text strikethrough.
