The blog mentions a third-party app called Notification History, that can be downloaded by users using versions Android Nougat 7.0 and above and review a deleted messages on a Notification log. The app is accessible on Google Play Store.

How WhatsApp’s ‘Delete for Everyone’ underline works
Tap and reason on a message, select “Delete,” and afterwards “Delete for everyone.” You have 7 mins to undo a summary after it’s sent.

The ‘Delete for Everyone’ underline is accessible for users around a universe on a latest versions of iPhone, Android, Windows Phone as good as desktop. WhatsApp was operative on this underline for roughly a year.

“Deleting messages for everybody allows we to undo specific messages we have sent to possibly a organisation or an particular chat. This is quite useful if we sent a summary to a wrong discuss or if a summary we sent contains a mistake,” WhatsApp pronounced in a FAQ.

Messages we successfully undo for everybody will be transposed with “This summary was deleted” in your recipients’ chats.

Similarly, if we see “This summary was deleted” in a chat, it means that a sender deleted their summary for everyone.

WhatsApp has over 200 million monthly active users in India and 1.2 billion users worldwide.
