WhatsApp adds new hack you must learn to save you from major embarrassment
WHATSAPP has added a brilliant new feature that can help you avoid major embarrassment.
It lets you recover deleted texts – and is seriously helpful.
The change is linked to the Delete For Everyone feature.
If you accidentally press Delete For Me, you lose the ability to Delete For Everyone.
So you can't get rid of an embarrassing, awkward, or incorrect text for everyone in your chat.
Now WhatsApp has updated the app with the ability to undo Delete For Me.
