WhatsApp Adds “Undo” Button To Restore Accidental Deleted Messages

By Joseph-Albert Kuuire 1 Min Read

WhatsApp has released a new feature that allows you to restore deleted messages on the platform.

Called “Accidental Delete“, it gives users a five-second window to bring back messages for when you mistakenly delete.

Currently, WhatsApp allows users to select options including: “Delete For Me”, which hides the message from yourself but keeps it visible for everyone else and “Delete for everyone”.

The “Delete For Me” option previously did not allow users to bring back the message if they accidentally deleted it but with the “Accidental Delete” feature, users will now have a five second window to do fix the problem.

How It Works

An “Undo” button automatically appears when a user selects “Delete for me” on a message.

The feature is now officially rolling out across iOS and Android.
