WhatsApp, the world’s most used instant messaging application, has finally introduced a feature to recover accidentally deleted messages after a long time. In June 2022, it was reported that WhatsApp experts were working on an undo feature to bring back accidentally WhatsApp deleted messages on the application.
Later, the company gave limited users access to the said feature to test it, but now it has been rolled out to all users. If you are a WhatsApp user, you must have seen the new feature in your app a few days back; if not, check it out now.

How to See Deleted WhatsApp Messages?
The above feature works on WhatsApp when users delete a message only for themselves instead of accidentally deleting it for everyone. Common mistake users make when deleting a wrong message after sending a wrong message in a group or chat is that they delete the message only for themselves instead of everyone, including the recipient.
However, if anyone mistakenly deletes a message only for himself instead of others, he will see the word undo on the screen. And users will be able to get back the deleted message in whatsapp by clicking on the word undo and then they can delete it for everyone.
The above feature will not work when the user deletes any message for everyone. It should also be noted that the user will have only 5 seconds to retrieve the deleted message, after which the feature will not work if someone realizes their mistake and undoes the message within five seconds. Click undo then OK otherwise the deleted message will not be returned.
