Have you ever deleted an image or video from the WhatsApp gallery? It can happen, WhatsApp includes very interesting features, but it is a real headache when you mistakenly delete an image from your WhatsApp library. Until now, if we wanted to retrieve the image again, the application would tell us that this file was not found in the library, and the only way to retrieve it was by asking the contact to resend it. Fortunately, the most popular messaging service has reconsidered.We have a new feature, and it is based on being able to download deleted files again. We tell you how.
That's right, now we can re-download images, audio files, video or documents that we have deleted from our gallery. The process is very simple. All we have to do is go to WhatsApp, search for the chat, image or multimedia file and click on download again. It will appear in our gallery again. WhatsApp will store them on the servers. According to Wabetainfo, this feature was already reaching some users, but the images remained for 30 days. Now permanently, so if we delete an image (it has to be downloaded), we can recover it whenever we want.
At the moment only available on Android
It is very important to note that if we delete the specific chat or conversation, we will not be able to download the file again If you are concerned For security, WhatsApp continues to maintain end-to-end encryption on images, even after they have already been downloaded. At the moment, this novelty is only available for WhatsApp on Android and can already be updated. Unfortunately, it is not available for iOS users, since the path of the images is not as easy to access as on Android. We'll see if it finally reaches iPhones or stays exclusively for Android. There is no doubt that this is a feature that can give us a lot of play.
