Recently, WhatsApp announced the launch of a new feature called “accidental delete,” which gives users a 5-second window to undo their decision to delete a message for themselves before also undeleting it for everyone. The feature is functional in both individual and group chats, according to a report from the American tech website TechCrunch. Both iPhones and Android devices would support it.

The messaging app added the “Delete for Everyone” option in 2017 to allow users to undo any messages they accidentally broadcast to all other users in a chat.

The roll out was initially only permitted for 7 minutes, but in August of this year, it was extended to 60 hours.

WhatsApp, a voice-over-IP and instant messaging service, is presently developing a more extreme variation of the choice that it added in 2020.

According to Mashable, WhatsApp later enhanced the vanishing messages functionality to enable allow for messages that disappear after 24 hours or 90 days after initially only offering one choice (disappearing after 7 days).

The newest WhatsApp beta for Android, version 2.22.25.20, contains the new feature. Such messages cannot be shared or forwarded once they are sent by a user.

By selecting an image or video to send, followed by a press on the circular “1” icon to the right of the caption box, the view-once functionality for photographs and videos can be activated.
