WhatsApp could offer word searches in all chats
WhatsApp calls are not everything, and in fact there is a lot of room for improvement for this messaging application continue to grow and surprise users. For this reason, the company continues to trying new things Functions and characteristics that can help users beyond the direct communication that it already offers. This is the case of the latest feature discovered, which allows to search for keywords in all chats at once A real help to find that interesting message that you can't find or remember what conversation you were in.
The curious thing about this feature is that, as mentioned in the media Android Police, it only appears on the version 2.12.134 of WhatsApp for Android, which is not even the one currently on Google Play for everyone users, nor the one that can be found on the page WhatsApp web, which is more recent. Something that suggests that it was a mere test to test the possibilities of this tool, without knowing for sure if it will arrive soon in some version for everyone, or if they have dropped it completely
The operation of this new tool is simple, and it is completely integrated with the regular searches of the applicationThus, if you have this version installed on the device Android, you only have to access the main screen of the application, where it is possible to see the magnifying glass icon at the top right. This button allows, to date, to carry out specific searches for chats (from, not in). That is, search for specific conversations or contacts if you have a large list.
The new feature, however, allows to enter any search term or word to search for in all active conversations This means finding that specific word or phrase in all chats, being able to recover any message that contains it if not it is remembered in which conversation it was written or received. For example, you can type the term hamburger and see all messages from all conversations in which it has been written.Something that would avoid the user having to carry out this search from within each conversation, as was usual until now.
A feature that certainly wouldn't revolutionize the experience of using WhatsApp, but it could be helpful for the most clueless users or chatterboxes However, it seems that those responsible for the application would not fully accommodate this feature, since it has disappeared from the most recent beta or test versions.
Now we just have to wait to see if it will be entered again so that any user can do a massive search, or if it has been completely removed from the application's current path line. In any case, any user who wants to use this function will have to search the Internet for version 2.12.134 of WhatsApp, where it is present, although installingat your own risk a beta version that may not work correctly or safely.
