WhatsApp may soon include ‘Undo’ option to retrieve deleted messages: How it could work | Digit

After putting out the WhatsApp beta for iOS 22.18.0.70 update, which lets you see status updates right in the chat list, WhatsApp is now giving some iOS beta users a way to get back messages they accidentally deleted.

WhatsApp might add a new feature that will make using the app better. WABetaInfo said that the messaging platform owned by Meta is working on a new feature that will let users get back deleted messages in a chat. Reports say that the feature was seen in WhatsApp’s latest Android beta release.

How you could restore deleted WhatsApp messages

According to the screenshot in the report, when users delete a message in the chatbox, they will see an “Undo” option. But this option will only show up for a few seconds, just like when we delete an email in Gmail.

Notably, only beta testers will be able to use it, and if you are one, you can go to the Play Store and update your app. Even if you don’t see the feature right away, we urge you to be patient as all beta testers should be getting it soon. It is likely to be rolled out in stages.

In another report, WABetaInfo said that the messaging platform is also working on a feature to hide a user’s phone number from people they don’t know. Note that it is being tested only on Android. 

WhatsApp recently also launched a new app for Windows. This new app lets people use WhatsApp on their Windows OS-powered computers as they used it on their phones.
