This feature is part of a larger ability with which people will be able to search for messages by jumping to a certain date, as per a report.

WABetaInfo, a website that tracks news and updates related to WhatsApp, reported in September last year, that the instant messaging service was working on an ability with which people will be able to search for messages by jumping to a certain date. Now, in a fresh update, the website has reported that this ability will introduce a new option, in addition to bringing back several features from the previous versions of the app.
