WhatsApp spotted working on new interface and ‘search message’ features

WhatsApp is bringing new features to its iOS platform for some users.

A new interface for reviewing contacts and searching past messages will make its way to the WhatsApp universe.

WhatsApp was founded in 2009 by Brian Acton and Jan Koum

The one catch is you’ll need to be a WhatsApp beta user and specifically have iOS 22.6.0.73 version.

The update brings individual user access to an interface previously offered to WhatsApp Business clients.

This interface features a useful ‘search message’ shortcut.

Users that are anxious to get the update as soon as possible can participate in beta trials.

To download WhatsApp beta for your smartphone you need to go to Google Play on your Android and search for WhatsApp.

Scroll down the page until you see “Become a Beta Tester”.

Tap the “I’m In” button and then click “Join” to confirm.

Now all you have to do is wait for the update to the beta version of the app.

Joining the WhatsApp beta on iPhone is more difficult, and has limited capacity.

This is the communications program’s latest update since introducing Code Verify, WhatsApp’s nickname for their multi-factor authentication tool. 

One of WhatsApp’s main competitors, Slack, has a highly effective message search tool that allows users to scan past communications in group channels and their own conversations.

Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta is the parent company of WhatsApp, and is in the midst of a stock price dip.

This week, Meta dropped below $200 a share for the first time since April 2020.
