Millions of people around the world use WhatsApp for instant messaging. Most users rely on it to stay connected with friends, family, and coworkers. Over time, conversations can become very long, making it difficult to find old messages. Constantly scrolling through chats can be annoying and time-consuming.

However, there's a simple trick that lets you find old messages quickly—without the hassle of manually scrolling through your entire chat history.
