Twitter has finally done a solid for Android users by bringing a DM search bar, after nearly two years since it first appeared on iOS. The feature will not only allow users to search their recent conversations, but also their old chats too.
Twitter further clarified that they are working on an improved version that can search message content, rather than just the sender. That update will be arriving later this year.
We’ve brought the DM search bar to Android and are rolling out an improved version that lets you search for all of your old convos, not just the most recent ones.

This may sound like a minor update, but it was painfully tiresome to search for chats on Twitter, especially for heavy users.
Unless you had utter patience and strength to physically scroll through all your old conversations, you’d reach a point where you start considering letting go of the search.
The feature is a valuable addition and will hopefully make Twitter DMs similar to other messaging apps.
