WhatsApp brought amazing feature

WhatsApp has now rolled out a new feature which enables person to UNDO the accidentally pressed on ‘Delete for me’ instead of 'Delete for Everyone'.

WhatsApp recently announced that it launched a new feature called 'accidental delete', which initiates a 5-second window for users to reverse their action of deleting the message for themselves and subsequently, delete it for everyone.

This new feature would be available on both iPhones and Android devices. According to a US-based tech portal TechCrunch report, the feature works in both individual and group chats. The feature was beta tested on some Android and iOS users in August, as per TechCrunch citing WABetaInfo. 

In 2017, the messaging platform introduced the 'Delete for Everyone' option so users could retract a message from all participants of a conversation in case they sent it by mistake. Initially the roll out was limited to just 7 minutes, it was increased to 60 hours in August this year.

Users who have updated their WhatsApp app for Windows might get the new option for disabling notifications within the app's settings. The new feature will help users to mute notifications for incoming WhatsApp calls if they don't want to receive them, as many times the system DND feature does not work due to network glitches and fails to mute WhatsApp calls.

Notably, WhatsApp allows calling on WhatsApp apps for Windows and macOS. So, users who are using WhatsApp on a web browser might not be able to start a call. 

Earlier this month, WhatsApp Pay’s India chief Vinay Choletti quit the firm just four months after he joined the role. Choletti had taken charge of WhatsApp Pay in India after Manesh Mahatme departed the company in September to join Amazon.
