Picture this… You sent an embarrassing message to your boss on WhatsApp and you accidentally deleted it “for me” instead of “for everyone”.
Don’t worry because WhatsApp launched a new feature, called “accidental delete,” which offers you a five-second window to let you reverse the action of deleting a message and instead, chose to delete it for everyone instead. Phew.

With this new update, when someone accidentally taps the “delete for me” option in a WhatsApp chat, a message will pop-up asking if you want to undo the action. This message will appear at the bottom next to the delete message notification.
The feature works in both individual and group chats. It is available on both iPhone and Android devices.
Everyone around the world let out a collective sigh of relief when in 2017, the messaging app introduced the ‘Delete for Everyone’ option so users could retract a message from all participants of a conversation in case they sent it by mistake.
It then added a disappearing messages feature in 2020.
Looking ahead, WhatsApp also has some other chat features lined up for users set to launch in the near future. We’ve heard that users might be able to edit WhatsApp messages after sending them.
Happy messaging.
Available now.
