In the new beta version released today, WhatsApp is finally preparing to introduce a significant improvement that has been highly requested in user feedback pages. The new feature, discovered by WABetaInfo, will help users search through all content published in Channels updates. Although this functionality has been long awaited, it will soon be made available to users. Here are the details…
Search Feature for WhatsApp Channels
To search in WhatsApp Channels, users will simply need to tap the three dots at the top of the screen and select the magnifying glass icon. This new feature, which users have been looking forward to, emerged in the latest beta version. You can see how the new feature will look in the screenshot below.
While this innovation may seem like a straightforward development, the channel search function will solve the headache for those needing to find relevant information.
Currently, to search within a channel, you must manually scroll through the page. This can be particularly cumbersome and tiring for channels that post many updates in a single day.
WhatsApp announced the Custom Lists feature. Now you can categorize your favorite chats and communicate in a more organized way.
WABetaInfo summarizes this important innovation with the statement: “Users will be able to easily enter keywords or phrases related to the updates they are looking for.”
The new feature, currently being tested in the beta version, will likely be rolled out to all users soon.
What do you think about this innovation?
