WhatsApp users on iOS may soon be able to search messages by date

 

Last week, WhatsApp made it easier for users to make UPI payments on the platform. Now, the developers are working on a new feature for those on iOS that might let users sort messages by date.

According to a post by WABetaInfo, WhatsApp might soon let iOS users search for messages on a particular date. The feature is currently available on WhatsApp beta for iOS 22.0.19.73 update from TestFlight.

It looks like WhatsApp has added a new calendar icon which might show up when you are trying to search for a particular message in a conversation. Clicking on the button opens up a calendar view where users will be able to pick a date. If you want to dismiss the calendar view, just scroll through the conversation and it will disappear.The newly added feature will really come in handy if you want to look at when you first talked to someone or if you want to read messages sent on a particular date.

Keep in mind that you will have to sign up for the beta if you want to use the latest WhatsApp features. It is interesting to note that developers were reportedly working on the same feature two years ago but seemingly discarded the idea at the time.

In July this year, the Meta-owned messaging platform banned more than 2.4 million Indian accounts. Also, WhatsApp might no longer work on several iPhone models that are still on iOS 10 and iOS 11.

Twitter Will Now Let You Schedule Up to 10 Spaces Broadcasts at a Time

Image
  Twitter Spaces increasingly feels like a niche offering – highly valuable to those that use it, but the group of those who do regularly tune in seems to be getting smaller, as opposed to expanding overall Twitter usage. But still, for those that are using Spaces, they evidently do use it a lot, with a key feature request being the capacity to schedule multiple Spaces at one time. Which you can now do, with Twitter enabling broadcasters to  schedule up to 10 Spaces at a time , up to 30 days in advance. As you can see in these examples, you’ll now be able to access a listing of ‘Upcoming Spaces’ in the app, from which you can edit any of your planned sessions, or share them via tweet. To be clear, you’ve been able to schedule a Spaces broadcast  for over a year , but now, you’ll be able to plan out multiple sessions all at once. So if you are among the Spaces advocates that are spending hours tuning in each week, you’ll now be able to build that into your planning, and ke...

Google hasn't approved Truth Social's Android app because of all the violent content

Image
Truth Social  is still MIA in Google's mobile app store and it's not because an Android version of the platform doesn't exist. According to a new report from  Axios , Donald Trump's conservative social network still has not been approved by Google for its Google Play store due to content moderation concerns from the tech giant. "When are we going to be available on Android? Well, look, that's up to the Google Play store," said Truth Social CEO Devin Nunes in an Aug. 26  appearance  on the right-wing media outlet, Real America's Voice. "I mean we're waiting on them to approve us and…I don't know what's taking so long." However, a source tells Axios that Truth Social is very aware of the issue and it relates to incitement and threats of physical violence found on the right-wing social media platform. "On Aug. 19, we notified Truth Social of several violations of standard policies in their current app submission and reiterated t...

Why King Charles III and Camilla Parker-Bowles have shut down their social media

Image
  At the start of  Queen Elizabeth II's reign , the invention of the internet was still decades away. However, in the modern day, we've grown accustomed to  seeing the Royal Family online  – and in particular, on social media. But there's a big change underway in the social world, as  King Charles III  and  Camilla Parker-Bowles  have shut down their famous Clarence House account. "This account is no longer being updated," the bio of the pair's former Instagram account reads. Royal fans should fear not, though, as the newly-appointed King and his Queen Consort haven't ditched social media altogether. Instead, you can now keep up with all their royal goings on over on the official Royal Family social accounts. The last ever post on the Clarence House account was an announcement of Her Majesty's death. "The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon," the caption of the post said, alongside a black-and-white photo of a smiling Queen Eliza...
