It is undoubtedly a lifesaver that allows you to undo the delete action and restore the message. After you do this, you can easily delete the message for everyone if that’s what you planned to do in the first place. It will surely save you from a lot of embarrassment! Now, let’s dig into how the feature works.

How To Undo Deleted WhatsApp Messages?

The process to undo deleted WhatsApp messages is quite simple.

Step 1: Open the chat where you want to delete a WhatsApp message. Tap and hold on to a message to delete.
