WhatsApp's success in Brazil has continued for years. The practicality of sending text messages, photos, videos, making calls and even sending money has made the app an essential tool on Brazilians' mobile phones.
The truth is that the more we use an app, the more chances we have to make mistakes. Who among us has never faced the embarrassing situation of sending a text, voice message or even a photo to the wrong person? But the worst is coming now!
Have you ever imagined the situation of sending a message or photo to someone, and when you press “Delete for Everyone”, you choose the “Delete for Me” option? At that time the soul leaves the body, right? The good news is that it is now possible to reverse this situation and have peace in your life again.
What's new in WhatsApp is for those who don't want to feel embarrassed
When we analyze the evolution of WhatsApp, it is clear that the tool has undergone significant changes and updates to become what it is today. According to the developers at Meta, the company responsible for the app, the mission has always been to create tools capable of providing the best experience to users.
In its latest update, WhatsApp has released the option that allows you to undo the “Delete for me” action. The new feature comes as a salvation for those who want to recover deleted messages.
From now on, when you accidentally delete a private message, the app will display an “Undo” button next to the “Message was deleted for me” notification. But be careful, the user has up to 5 seconds to cancel the decision before it is too late. The new feature is available for all devices, such as iOS, Android, and PC.
