Now, redownload deleted media on WhatsApp

Posted on: 16/Apr/2018 12:15:31 PM
In the latest beta version, Whatsapp now allows users to redownload deleted media from their servers again. Known WhatsApp beta tester, reports say that since a few days, WhatsApp allows downloading deleted media from their servers again. This automatically translates into the fact that WhatsApp continues to store our media on their servers also after downloading them. The files which were not downloaded were available for about 30 days and, when the recipient downloaded the media, the file would get deleted from WhatsApp server.

Say reports, When a media is successfully downloaded, WhatsApp doesnt delete it from the server, allowing the users to download it again if the file was accidentally deleted in the path where WhatsApp saves media. During testing, files and videos received as early as two months back were easily downloaded and some even older files had to try multiple times in order to successfully redownload it. Notably, even with the files stored on their server, the instant messaging app keeps the data secure. Media files continue to be end-to-end encrypted. Additionally, this feature is only available for Android users and not for iOS users.
