WhatsApp’s next iPhone update could make searching chats much easier
WhatsApp is building a new in-chat search button for iPhone that appears when you scroll up, so you can find old messages without leaving the conversation.
WhatsApp is streamlining the process of searching through chats on iPhones with a new dedicated search button. Previously, users had to navigate menus to find the search feature, which was hidden and required an extra step. The upcoming update, available via WhatsApp's iOS TestFlight, will include a search button directly on the chat screen.
This button will appear when scrolling up through older messages and disappear when returning to the latest messages. The feature enhances convenience by eliminating the need to leave the chat and jump through menu screens. While no release date has been confirmed, the development of this in-context search function signals an improvement in the user experience for iPhone WhatsApp users.
