WhatsApp implemented message deletion a few days ago. This feature is used to delete those messages sent by mistake to one of your contacts, in this way, the contact will not see the message, but will read a text saying ”˜This message has been deleted”™. Luckily (or not) there is a feature in the form of a trick, which is used to read those messages that have been deleted Next, we will tell you how to do it.
The truth is that reading the deleted message is much easier than it seems.First, you should know that you have a maximum time of about 7 minutes to delete the message. If you don't delete it, the receiver will be able to read it. Also, even if you send the message and delete it immediately, the recipient will receive a notification if they have an internet connection. If it's fast, you'll be able to read it before you get the message that it's been removed. Also, whether or not you read it, you can take advantage of the notification to view the deleted message.
How can we read the deleted message? Thanks to our device's notification log To do this, we must have Android 6.0 Marshmallow or later . As well as an application that allows us to access the notification log with complete freedom. Luckily, there is one available on the Google Play Store. ”˜Notification History”™ is one of the best options. Now, we only need a cause to be able to use the application.
That is, when you receive a message that has been deleted, go to the ”˜Notification History”™ app and look through the notification history for the time it was deleted. you have received the message For example, if you received the message at 10 am (even if it says ”˜you deleted this message”™), you will have to find the exact time. Once inside, different codes and text will appear. We will have to scroll to ”˜Extras”™ and look for the line ”˜android.text:”™. The previously sent message will appear there. Of course, if you delete a message and your contact knows about this feature, they will be able to read the message.
On the other hand, it is important to note that you will not be able to see the message if you delete the notification, even if it is the one that warns that it has been deleted the message. It should be noted that if you do not have an internet connection, the notification has not reached you, and the user has deleted the message, you will not be able to read it either.Finally, the Android registry deletes the notification history from time to time so that there is no consumption in memory. Cleaning and optimization applications also remove these logs. In addition, you will only be able to read short messages, of no more than 100 characters. Of course, it can't work with photos either.
Notification History, the best option if you don't have Android Puro or Nova Launcher
The fastest way to search the notification log is from the application mentioned above. But if your device has Pure Android, you can directly access the notification control from the system settings On the other hand, Nova Launcher has a Widget with direct access to the notification history. We will not need any application in the event that you have the launcher implemented on your device.
