If you only delete messages on WhatsApp for yourself, they can still see others in the chat. If you did it by mistake, you can fix the error now.
- The new version of WhatsApp gives you the ability to restore a message that has been deleted just for you.
- The Messenger will then show you an overlay.
- The feature is available for Android, iPhone and the desktop app.
WhatsApp has long let you delete messages. You can decide to delete messages just for you or for everyone. This is useful because everyone makes mistakes, accidentally forwards a picture to the wrong chat, or just never wants to see a message again. However, if you want to delete a message for everyone and unfortunately click “delete for me”, you can no longer delete the message on other people’s devices.
In the new version of WhatsApp, this is a thing of the past. If you’ve accidentally deleted a message just for yourself, now’s your opportunity to reverse this obvious wrong decision. After you delete a message, an overlay appears at the bottom of your smartphone.
According to the WhatsApp beta site WABetaInfo This innovation is part of the current version of WhatsApp and should be implemented for everyone. If you don’t have access to the new feature yet, you should update your app. The innovation affects versions 2.22.24.73 for Android phones, 22.24.81 for iPhones, and desktop app version 2.2246.10.
