The feature allows users to search for specific chats on a particular date rather than specifying a date range. This update follows WhatsApp's previous testing of chat filters and introduces new text formatting options such as bulleted and numbered lists, block quotes, and inline code for individual and group chats. The search by date function was already available on iOS, Mac desktop, and WhatsApp Web.

With user consent, WhatsApp uploads the image to Google, maintaining privacy as WhatsApp does not access image content. Additionally, WhatsApp for iOS now includes a document scanning feature.
