You know that moment when you just have to relive one of Elon Musk's old tweets, but you just can't find it?

Well, Twitter is now making it a little bit easier to search through tweets of an individual user on iOS.

If you have the latest version of Twitter for iOS, go to any user's profile, and you'll see a search button on the top left. Tap on it, and you'll get an option to search through that user's tweets.

According to XDA Developers, the feature was previously available to a small subset of users, but now it's rolling out for everyone. 

It's worth noting that there were several ways to do this already. One was using the "From:Username" modifier in Twitter search, and the other was using "site:twitter.com/username" modifier in Google. Having a dedicated search button in every profile is a bit more convenient, however.
