I'm confident that everyone can relate to this. You accidentally select "Erase for myself" instead of "Delete for everyone" when attempting to delete a message that you sent to the wrong individual or group, which causes embarrassment.
However, WhatsApp has since released a new function that allows users to REDO the mistake of unintentionally pressing "Delete for myself" rather than "Delete for Everyone."
Recently, WhatsApp announced the launch of a new feature called "accidental delete," which gives users a 5-second window to undo their decision to delete a message for themselves before also undeleting it for everyone.
Both iPhones and Android phones and tablets would support this new function. The feature is functional in both individual and group chats, according to a report from the American tech website TechCrunch.
According to TechCrunch citing WABetaInfo, the feature was beta tested on some Android and iOS users in August.
The messaging app added the "Delete for Everyone" option in 2017 to allow users to undo any messages they accidentally broadcast to all other users in a chat. The roll out was initially only permitted for 7 minutes, but in August of this year, it was extended to 60 hours.
The option to save a disappearing message would be available to WhatsApp users, according to a recent claim by WABetaInfo. This will stop the vanishing message from running out of time. Particularly, Android WhatsApp users should be aware that this functionality is still in development and has not yet been made available to beta testers. With the WhatsApp beta 2.23.2.11 upgrade, this functionality will be available to Android users initially; it is unknown if it will also be available to iOS users.
Additionally, the platform had added a number of additional features to enhance calling. These include the option to message or mute participants, 32-person calls, color waveforms, and more. According to a story from earlier this month, WhatsApp is developing a picture-in-picture mode for video calls.
