While WhatsApp has long offered a search option in the chat info screen, the app is now working on a faster way to access it directly from a conversation. Here are the details.
WhatsApp works on a faster search flow on iOS
As WhatsApp users probably know, there are two main ways to search for past messages in the app. The first is from the main chats list, where a search query looks across all conversations. The second is from a chat’s info screen, which searches only within that specific conversation.
Now, as spotted by WABetaInfo, the app may soon add a faster way to find past messages within a conversation.
According to the website, the latest WhatsApp build available on TestFlight includes references to a search button that will appear in the bottom-right corner of the screen when the user starts scrolling back through the chat history.
