We reported information about a new feature made accessible to some beta testers in the article on the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.22.18.73 update: the ability to temporarily undo “delete for me.” When you utilize “delete for me,” it is simple for you to retrieve texts that were unintentionally erased. The fact that this feature is now open to everyone according to a recent announcement by WhatsApp and Will Cathcart on Twitter makes it even more official than before!
The undo option, which appears every time you delete a message for you when your initial purpose was to delete it for everyone, is the ideal solution, as you can see in this screenshot: whenever you delete a message for you, a snackbar appears with the “undo” button. You have a brief window of time to utilize the undo function to get back any messages you accidentally deleted.
The same feature is accessible on WhatsApp Desktop and WhatsApp for iOS as well, as stated in the official changelog of the WhatsApp for iOS 22.19.75 update that was made available on the App Store, even though this screenshot was obtained from WhatsApp for Android.
On WhatsApp for iOS, Android, and the desktop, all users have the option to reverse the “delete for me” action. To access the functionality, be sure to install the most recent version that is still available from the shop.
