The messaging service WhatsApp could introduce a new function.
This is intended to help users who have accidentally deleted messages and need access to them again.
Menlo Park - A new feature could soon be coming to the popular messaging service WhatsApp.
With this feature, users would have the ability to recover messages they just deleted.
This was reported by the blog "WABetaInfo.com".
WhatsApp is extremely cautious about introducing new features.
Before there are any innovations on the social medium, they are tested in a beta program by WhatsApp.
This new function was also spotted on the same one.
Whether users will actually be able to recover the messages they just deleted in the future is still unclear.
WhatsApp: New function should allow restoring messages
The background of the possible update will presumably be the unwanted deletion of messages.
Specifically, it is about users being able to delete their messages for themselves and all chat users.
If you want to remove a message, it could happen that you only delete that message for yourself, but not for others.
With this renewal, users would have the chance to restore the message and then delete it for all users.
WhatsApp: recovering messages only a temporary option
So if the user actually happens to accidentally delete a message just for themselves, they have the option of correcting this error.
However, the person has little time to do so.
According to the blog, after deleting a message, a window appears that says "message deleted," as well as a window that says "undo."
However, these windows should only appear for "a few seconds", as the blog
WABetaInfo.com
reported.
Updates in the examination phase can always be rejected on WhatsApp.
