Search your chats

Tap "Search your chats", the magnifier at the top of the chat list, and type. On a computer, Ctrl+F does the same, Cmd+F on a Mac. It looks through every message on this device, your whole history.

What it finds takes the place of the list, with how many above it, such as "3 found". Tap one to open the chat at that message. "Close search" brings the list back.

The search runs on your device. Our server never sees what you search for.

It finds only what is on this device. When nothing matches, it says "No message on this device matches what you typed."
