How to search for photos on WhatsApp
Want to find a photo someone sent to you a long time ago on WhatsApp? Use the app’s photo search feature.
Like other chat apps, WhatsApp has its own search option that lets you find text, documents or media files you sent or received.
Let’s walk you through it step by step.
The first thing you need to do is to use the search box that sits on top of your chats. If you don’t see it, swipe down a little bit until is shows up.
Tap on it. You’ll get to the search page where you can filter by the type o result you are looking for. In this case, tap the Photos filter.
Now that you selected Photos, just type the thing you’re looking for. This works well only if the the photo you’re searching has some kind of descriptive text next to it.
Otherwise, you can just scroll through all the photos you sent and received and locate manually the one you’re looking for.
It would have been nice if WhatsApp had some kind of image recognition tech, that could understand your photos’ content like Google Photos or Apple Photos.
