I was out with a group of friends last night and had an interesting conversation when no one else realized you can search iMessages.
From the main Messages window, swipe down and previously hidden search bar appears. There's no indication this is an option or it exists.
As far as I know it's been there since at least iOS 9.0 (probably longer) and 6 people hadn't found it yet.
- MiroF 7y agoThis is a common iOS design pattern now. I'm sure there are lots of search bars you are missing.
- jandrese 7y agoThe visual cue that one exists is, let me check my notes, oh here it is "go fuck yourself." The #1 thing that drives me crazy with phone UI is the huge amount of hidden functionality that you'll only ever discover if you find an article online or just randomly tap and swipe everything in the app until things happen. And then you have to remember that all in your head because there are no reminders anywhere about the functionality. And what do they do with all of the space they save by not having indicators? Absolutely nothing at all. Tons of whitespace is added to the app so you are always scrolling around anyway.
