Redownload WhatsApp Image and Video If Get Deleted:
WABetainfo has made another update announcement back in April with version 2.18.106 and 2.18.110. They explained the feature by saying that Whatsapp is changing its behaviour. At first, WhatsApp used to delete media file like image video from their server as user downloads it. Now if the user accidentally deletes the media then it can not we restored or redownload again. But now they have come with a new plan to keep the media on the server. Now user can recover deleted media even after they have deleted data.
This media used to get stored on the server for 30 days till the day user will download them. As user download them it will immediately get deleted from the server. Just after downloading media if it gets deleted accidentally you cannot download them again. But now Whatsapp will hold them on their server.
Caution: This feature cannot retrieve the message once they are deleted. So do not try this.
No Interference in Voice Chat:
Another update that everyone was needed was this frustrating voice interference feature. If you too much rely on voice chat feature of application then this is for you. Before this update, if you are listening to a voice message and get interrupted then if you listen to that message again it will start from the beginning. What if the message was 5 min long and you know that you can use timeline here. So WhatsApp added this feature. It will now remember where you left the message and will resume from same as you come back.
