WhatsApp is currently working on a lot of new updates and features to enhance users' experience.

This feature is currently in beta version and should be released to everyone soon.
WhatsApp's new undo feature will allow users to restore deleted messages just by clicking the 'undo' option. The new upgrade will let users restore messages deleted by them using the 'delete for me' button. Notably, the update will only allow them to recover the messages deleted from the user’s chat window. Messages deleted for all will not be recovered. Additionally, users will only get a few seconds to restore deleted messages. The new update is available through the Google Beta Program and only a few beta users can get insight into this new update. WhatsApp may release the update feature for everyone in the coming weeks.
