How to find old messages on WhatsApp in a very simple way

You must have the app updated to access this function. Something that can be verified by going to the Google Play Store or App Store and searching for the application, where it will appear whether the update process is necessary or whether the latest version is being used.

To use this feature and find specific messages in a chat, you need to follow the following steps in the web version or mobile application:

1. Open WhatsApp.
2. Go to the chat in which we want to find content on WhatsApp.
3. Click on profile photo.
4. A search box will appear below the user information. Click there.
5. The search engine will open and a calendar icon will appear in the upper right corner. Pressing it will activate the function.
6. We have to choose the date on which the content we are looking for was sent and next to that we add the keywords to search for it in the chat.

Once these steps are completed, WhatsApp will search chats for the selected date and display messages that match the search criteria. This feature is especially useful for those times when we need to remember a specific conversation or find an important message among thousands of others that we have already sent.

Despite being an option that makes searching in chat easier, Please note that it is not currently possible to set a range of days for searches.Therefore it is important to remember the exact date of the message we are looking for.

If you are not sure about the exact date of the message, we can try temporary dates or search only by text without using the calendar.

In the version, the process is the same, the only difference is that when you are in a chat in the browser, a search icon appears directly in the profile bar, without the need to enter user information.

WhatsApp announced an update to its function of pinning messages to chats and groups for any user. This function allows you to highlight important information, facilitating its quick and efficient access in both group chats and individual conversations.

The messages that can be pinned are text, polls, images and emojis, and all of them are protected through end-to-end encryption.

The pinning feature works through this process:

1. The process starts by pressing and holding on the message you want to highlight in the conversation.
2. After a few moments, a menu is displayed with several options, one of which is “Set”.
3. When selecting this option, the user is presented with a banner that allows them to set how long they want the message to remain pinned to the top of the chat.
4. The duration options are varied, allowing you to choose between 24 hours, 7 days and up to 30 days, with the default option of 7 days being the most balanced between visibility of relevant information and renewals.
