The function you expected from WhatsApp is already in the oven

Although WhatsApp is not as prolific in features as Telegram, its team is still working on bringing useful news to the most widely used messaging application in the world. And it is that you cannot afford to remain static in the face of the number of alternatives that populate the Google and Apple application stores. Now we know new details of a function that will make it much easier to find content in your chats and conversations.To not lose any audio, GIF, link or video.

It is about the Advanced Search, as it has been called in WABetaInfo, that account that is dedicated to scrutinizing each new version published by WhatsApp in search of information, detail and clues about what is about to happen. come in this app. The latest discovery hidden in the code of the most recent update refers to a more detailed, useful and concrete search system. Something with which you can quickly retrieve multimedia content and not just search for words in a chat

This special search engine allows, according to what WABetaInfo has already discovered, to filter chat searches according to different types of content. Something that makes it especially useful to find more specific things that are not words or written messages, but photographs, videos, GIFs, audios, links or documentsAt the moment the tool is in full development, so it may change compared to what is shown by this account.

The idea is that the search engine filters according to the type of content. To do this, it would activate some colored labels that would specify these categories of photos, videos, audios and others. Thanks to the colors and the word in question we could quickly know what we are looking for in the chat. All this without having to go to the information of the conversation or scroll through it content by content. Especially useful in groups where a large amount of material of all kinds is shared.

Backup protection follows in your footsteps

Another novelty described by WABetaInfo in its latest analysis is the protection function for backup copies. And it is that, although WhatsApp has user-to-user encryption in the field of messages, does not equally protect the files stored in our terminal as backup copiesThus, and although this function was already known, the possibility of protecting these files with a unique and personal code is still being developed. A password without which it would not be possible to recover or transfer a backup copy of our messages to another mobile or account.

Of course, for the moment both functions are in development, without an official date yet being known for its arrival on all mobiles . We'll be alert.
