Whatsapp it will add a very important function for certain situations uncomfortable which can take place in chat and, above all, in groups. Until now, when a message was deleted “for me” it was impossible to go back to erase “for everyone”. Now, that feature can be undone to delete the message so that no one sees it.
This new feature is called “accidental deletion” and allows you to correct the error. This way, if you use this option, which appears at the bottom of the screen and includes the button to take the action, the message will appear again. And there it can be removed for everyone.
As is almost always the case with applications, the feature is being rolled out in several countries. Therefore, it is not yet available in all regions or for all users.
You must have the latest version of the app, yes, in order to use it.
WhatsApp says goodbye to different phones
On the other hand, there is less and less until the end of the year and with this the concern among WhatsApp users is growing, given that it will stop working on thousands of devices starting next December 31st.
After changing its privacy policy to introduce some minor adjustments and support different versions of the operating system, Meta has launched a call to limit the update of the service in an increasing number of mobile phones from major manufacturers (Samsung, Apple, Motorola, LG, Huawei, ZTE and many more).
Although the vast majority of users can rest assured that WhatsApp will continue to work on smartphones purchased in recent years; others who have devices that are more than five years old they might start to worry.
On the WhatsApp support site, the messaging app reported that it will stop working on Android mobile phones with an operating system older than 4.1. This means that to use WhatsApp, you must have Android with version 4.1 Jelly Bean or higher.
Android version 4.1 was released in 2012, so any Android purchased within the last 6-8 years will be able to receive WhatsApp updates without problems during 2023.
Similarly, WhatsApp will also stop working on iPhones that have older versions installed iOS 12, released in 2018.
