Some users had complained of not getting the feature even after updating their WhatsApp to the latest version.

“WhatsApp is finally rolling out, for certain beta testers, the Advanced Search Mode! Why certain beta testers? WhatsApp is actually enabling, from server-side, the feature for a few beta testers. This type of activation is partial and very slow: this happens when a company decides to gradually enable a feature to see the effects of it when enabled (crashes, bugs). In these situations it’s better to enable the feature for a few users rather than everyone,” the Wabetainfo report read.

However, the Advance Search Mode let users search for images, videos, files, GIFs, audio, links, etc in the search bar that is provided on the app.

The feature is still being developed by the company and it is being rolled out for testers gradually.

As the name suggests, the new feature would let users log in to up to five devices using a single account. For instance, if you want to use WhatsApp on your iPhone and iPad simultaneously, you can do so without logging out from one of the devices.

Furthermore, WhatsApp is also working on backing up the chat history. The feature is still under development and can only be accessed by beta testers.
