Psst! WhatsApp offers tons of new features for both Android and iOS platforms. The Facebook-owned company is constantly updating its platform to offer a better and improved experience to its users. But not all features are visible in front of your eyes and some of them are hidden in the deepest part too.
Only a few days ago, WhatsApp incorporated dark mode, deleted messages, QR code, search the web, multi-device support, contact shortcuts, group video calls, animated stickers and the like. WhatsApp has now rolled out an advanced search mode for both Android and iOS platforms for its beta testers.
The advanced search mode as the name suggests, the new feature lets you search at the advanced level. The advanced search mode is nothing else but an improved form of the previous search feature. With the old search feature, you could only search for tickets, addresses or other important messages in chats, but with the advent of the advanced search mode, you’re able to search for photos, videos, links, GIFs, audio as well as documents in the chat history section.
