Many of us will have relied on WhatsApp's unsend feature to avoid embarrassing moments, truths you don't actually want to share or arguments you've decided that you can't be bothered starting.
All you have to do is choose to ' delete the message ' for everyone and bang - it's gone forever, right?

Well, wrong we're afraid, as tech guru ' Ta Tech Tips ' has betrayed us all and has now shared a video explaining exactly how you can view deleted messages on your Android device, and it's actually super easy to do.
In a video on TikTok, he said: "We've all been in a chat where someone has deleted a message and you're dying to know what it says". He then explains that if you're on an Android device, it's as simple as opening the Settings app on your phone.
Then all you have to do is search "notification history" and turn it on, the Daily Star reports. This means that when you get a message that is deleted later on, you'll still be able to view it through your notification history.
You can do this by opening the settings app again, heading to notifications history and tapping 'recently dismissed' any time you want to see what has been removed.
Sadly, the trick doesn't work on iPhone (thankfully for us) as it doesn't have a notification log feature, but this might change in future.
You've all been warned.
