The Meta-owned platform is currently rolling out the new feature for some WhatsApp beta for iOS users.

[{"selector":"#anim-3ef94059-4177-434d-8071-365814eb2ddf [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(32.35294090950458%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}]

The search for messages by date was first reported months by WABetaInfo- a site which tracks the WhatsApp developments.
