Any type of message can be deleted, including those that were sent on purpose, but later the person regretted it. However, the advantage is only for those who use the tool, as there are those who are afflicted with curiosity to be able to read the deleted message.
Little by little, WhatsApp functions are being updated. Remembering the platform at the beginning of its popularization is something that can confuse many people. The changes practically made the app a new environment.
In addition to the “delete for everyone” option, adding videos and photos to the status was something that did not exist, as well as making free audio calls, video calls, among other features. After all, the statuses were what we call a “message” today.
Know that it is possible to recover deleted messages
To try to get around the “delete for all”, the messenger is including the option that allows you to undo the delete function. However, to seize this chance, you will need to be quick!
The first time this function was used, it generated quite an uproar. The feature was first seen in August of this year. Now, the option will be available to all WhatsApp users.
It works exactly like this: when you delete the message, a bar will appear floating for five seconds, and that's how you'll be able to recover the deleted message. It is worth remembering that the function is only available for the “delete for me” option. The “delete for everyone” option is not part of the feature.
The five seconds to retrieve the message may not be enough for now, but it already works as an indication that the platform will be able to offer more time in the next updates. Previously, “delete for me” and “delete for everyone”, for example, were only allowed for seven minutes after sending, and now you can delete a message within 60 hours.
Little by little, the function to revert the deleted message is coming to iOS devices, android and for those who use the app on their computer.
