Meta-owned giant WhatsApp has introduced a new feature 'Accidental delete' for all iOS and Android users.

[{"selector":"#anim-5ec0bfee-b002-43bb-983e-c480543a900f","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(125.09092%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1ecaee31-6927-44c7-b8bb-b340ef71dde5","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-371cbe74-dacb-4df3-8d30-473799ca7ab4","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

This new feature allows undoing the deletion for 5 seconds from the moment you delete a message.

[{"selector":"#anim-758f67f1-a307-49e3-a7ed-994b236ec353","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d4f0f8b2-9787-418a-91a8-16fb4f983082","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(122.53521%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

WhatsApp’s new feature will help you get out of this situation if you delete a message and accidentally pressed the "Delete for me" option instead of the "Delete for everyone" option.

[{"selector":"#anim-7faa6610-aa6a-4008-ac45-5091a53055e8","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(116.60900%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5d9417be-25eb-4a39-ab9d-b5661a35223d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7969d9c3-f4e2-4366-bccc-07d07bb4c7fa","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Whenever one deletes a message, they will see a small dialogue box that says "Message deleted"

The dialogue box will also have a small “Undo” button. Click the button to see the message you just deleted again.
