Following a few weeks of beta testing, WhatsApp is now rolling out its new in-chat search button to iPhone users. An in-chat search button, by contrast, streamlines the process by letting users start searching without leaving the conversation. Users who see the button can tap it to activate search mode directly within the conversation.
