WhatsApp may soon allow iPhone users to search messages in a ‘different’ way – Times of India

WhatsApp has consistently developed and offered new features for its users over the last few years to compete with other messaging services like Telegram and Signal. Moreover, these new updates boost customer engagement on the Meta-owned instant-messaging platform by improving the user experience.
However, the company is now working on a feature (currently being developed only for iOS) for iPhone users and is expected to make searching for messages on chat much easier. Meanwhile, it is important to note that this feature is not a brand-new change as it was first spotted in 2020 and the company is reportedly ready to finally roll out this improvement.
