- Then, tap on the name of the recipient.
- Hit the search button available under the recipient’s profile picture.
- Tap on the calendar icon available in the top-right corner of the search bar.
- Select the month and year you want to scroll back to in order to search the message.
- When you tap Jump to date, WhatsApp will return you to the specific messages from the chosen date.
Conclusion
WhatsApp users have the option to jump to a specific date to see which messages have been sent and received during a particular conversation, in addition to being able to jump to the first message in a conversation. However, the calendar icon won’t be visible for everyone because the new feature is only accessible to a select group of WhatsApp iOS beta testers.
