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.

This means you can still save yourself from embarrassment.

"We've all been there," WhatsApp joked.

"But now you can UNDO when you accidentally delete a message for you that you meant to delete for everyone!"

The new feature is available right now to try in the app.

That means you need to go update your WhatsApp.

Check the Google Play store on Android or the App Store for iOS on iPhone for updates.

Once you're updated, you should try it out to see how it works.

First, try sending a message and holding down on it.

Now choose Delete For Me.

A pop-up will immediately appear and give you the chance to "UNDO" your mistake.

Tap it and then you can go back and Delete For Everyone.

This means you can now totally unsend it for the rest of the chat members.
