WABetaInfo has discovered that WhatsApp is testing a new “Undo” feature on iOS. Found in the latest WhatsApp beta for iOS 2.21.240.17 update, the new feature will be available to specific beta testers which will allow them to quickly edit their status updates. Status update on WhatsApp is an Instagram Stories-like feature that allows users to post photos and videos they wish to share with their contacts.
Recently, WhatsApp introduced a new way for users to view status updates of Business accounts directly from Business Info and an in-built sticker maker on the web which allows users to edit photos to create personalized stickers to share with their friends and family on the app. It was also discovered that the company is testing message reactions for users to react to messages in individual or group chats via different emojis.

After publishing the status update, the option “Undo” will be momentarily visible: if you select it, the status update will be automatically deleted for everyone.
