Searching by filters in the mobile app

[Javin M.]

I'm trying to do something simple and seems like it's not possible on an Android device. I want to create an album, do a simple search (or use a filter to sort content by day/week/folder selection where to search, or, apply a search filter) for all photos that were taken today, or any other day (not by checking all, each and every photo, which can be more than 200+) and share it... Thank you all for your time and attention. Have a great day!

Hi @Javin M.,

How are you today? I just wanted to update you here and share some recent updates that were made to the mobile search function. 

Here's what's new:

• Larger Result Thumbnails
• Modified Dates in search results
• File Sizes in search results
• Snippets for keyword matches within files 
• Sorting results by newest or oldest
• Filtering results by File Type or 'Modified Date'

Hopefully this will make your searches a little easier in the future. You can find out more or let us know what you think over on this thread.

Thanks and have a great day!
