Search inside a conversation
Find keywords in the messages you've exchanged.
For: Everyone · Category: Communication
Once a conversation is open, you can search the messages between you and that person or group for a keyword.
Steps
- Open the conversation - Pick the chat in Messages.
- Tap the search icon - Choose the magnifying-glass icon at the top of the chat.
- Type a keyword - The chat filters to just the messages that contain your keyword. Clear the box or close the search to see everything again.
Tips
- "Search chats" at the top of the list finds a whole conversation; this in-chat search finds words inside the open conversation.
