    Is there a Find Next function in Messages for iOS?

    On Messages in macOS when you search with CMD-F you can use Find Next CMD-G to jump to the next result on the search. Is something like this possible on Messages on iOS? I feel that the search function inside Messages on iOS is very limited if this is not possible.
