MENLO PARK – Social messaging application WhatsApp has rolled out a new feature that allows users to retrieve deleted media files including photos, videos, GIFs, audio clips and documents.
According to report by WABetainfo the Facebook-owned company will again allow users to download all kinds of deleted media from its servers.
The report also added that the feature does not seem to allow downloading media files that are too old, instead, asking users to send a request to the sender to send the media again.
The new feature is available on WhatsApp version 2.18.106 and 2.18.110.
As part of a recent update, WhatsApp will now keep the data for allowing users to access it any time they want.
It’s important to note that the re-downloading option is only available for files from chats that have not been deleted.

Previously, the company would let the recipient of the media file download it within a period of 30 days, after which it was deleted from the company’s server and hence couldn’t be recovered unless the sender releases it again.
