In the article about the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.22.13.5 update, we presented a new feature under development that helps users recover their messages deleted by mistake. It seems that this feature has been developed after posting a tweet about how you can feel when you want to delete a message for everyone but you wrongly deleted it only for you.
Today, WhatsApp is finally rolling out this feature to some lucky beta users that can finally recover their messages deleted by mistake:
As you can see in this screenshot, a snackbar shows up when an attempt to delete a message for you is detected: in this case, you have a few seconds to recover the message if you previously wanted to delete it for everyone.
This feature has been released to some lucky beta testers after installing the latest beta update from the Play Store, so be sure to update your version of WhatsApp. If the snackbar doesn’t show up when you use “delete for me” and you’ve already installed the latest beta, it means your WhatsApp account is still not eligible to get the feature but don’t worry: as always, more activations are planned over the coming weeks.
