WhatsApp introduces new 'accidental delete' feature

WhatsApp has released a new “accidental delete” feature to get you out of the situation where you don't want another person to see the message that you have sent accidentally and, in a hurry to delete it, you click the option "Delete for me instead of Delete for others." To exactly tackle this, WhatsApp has come up with this new feature.

About the WhatsApp accidental delete feature

You can undo a deleted message within a five-second window thanks to the new feature. A small dialogue box with the message "Message deleted for me" will appear after you delete a message. A small "Undo" button will also be present in the dialogue box. The message you just deleted will reappear if you click the button.

WhatsApp made the announcement on December 14 that it had started testing picture-in-picture support for video calls on iOS. Since Android devices have supported this feature for a considerable amount of time, Apple devices lag far behind Android devices in this regard. The picture-in-picture feature for iOS is only currently available to WhatsApp beta users, and it will not be made available to everyone until next year.

Vinay Choletti, WhatsApp Pay's India chief, resigned from the company earlier this month, just four months after accepting the position. After Manesh Mahatme left WhatsApp in September to join Amazon, Choletti was in charge of WhatsApp Pay in India.
