WhatsApp Plus has been forced to shut down by WhatsApp in January 2015 due to a cease and desist order, who managed to cease and completely dissolve the project. The app is no longer available for download and we don't provide any support.

Is there an easy way to search for something specific within a given Whatsapp group? I can't seem to figure it out.

Media, I can click into the group and see all media files. It is messages I am looking for. Some from a specific user and some for which I just remember a certain key-word.

If you remember a keyword maybe you can open it in a browser and do ctrl+f?
