Whatsapp Messenger is the most popular instant messaging app in the market today. Now a part of the Facebook ecosystem, Whatsapp offers multiple functionalities to users including the ability to create and talk in groups, host video calls, send media and enjoy end to end conversations across the platform.
Whatsapp started off as a simple free to use ‘Instant Messaging’ app, which soon rose to popularity and eventually ended up replacing the standard messaging app on our phones. Recently, Whatsapp also rolled our business-centric features, including a Whatsapp for business app, making the product a versatile and must-have app on all smartphones. Today, Whatsapp is the most downloaded messenger and is available as a free download on iOS, Android, and even PCs.
Sending messages is very simple on Whatsapp, and for years, users enjoyed the simple and hassle-free interface that Whatsapp offered until people started complaining about messages being sent by mistake or out of context. This was leading to misunderstandings and people taking advantage of these mistakes to further their own agenda. To counter this problem, Whatsapp released the ‘Delete Message’ feature which allowed users to delete a particular message from the conversation as a whole.
The Delete message feature is one of the most used Whatsapp features today, and with the cool downtime of 60 minutes, it gives users enough time to contemplate and decide whether or not they really want to delete a message or not.
Once the message is deleted from the chat, there is no way to see what the content was. This is where third-party apps come into play. There are many apps in the market that promise you features that allow you to read deleted messages from your contacts, but only a few of them actually work.
