On July 23, the topic #微信 regret medicine# topped the list of hot searches.The "regret medicine" function launched by WeChat is an important recent update to address the problem of accidentally deleting chat records. Many netizens posted that they found that the WeChat chat history could be undone after accidentally deleting it.
Tencent customer service stated that when iOS users swipe left to delete chat records, the system will pop up a prompt (such as "Do you want to undo the deletion?"), and you can click to undo the deletion within 5 seconds. After successful revocation, the chat history and dialog box will be restored immediately. Android and Hongmeng system users will have a second confirmation when deleting. However, no matter what the situation, it cannot be restored without a backup in advance after deletion, so it is recommended to operate with caution.
In addition, it is worth noting that currently deleted chat records cannot be recovered if they exceed the withdrawal time limit, and chat records deleted in batches cannot be retrieved through the "regret medicine" function.
In response to feedback that some users are unable to experience this feature, customer service said that this feature is being gradually opened. iOS devices have been updated to version 8.0.61 and above to support some models, but other devices are not yet open.
In this regard, netizens said, "It simply saved the lives of mobile phone users." It is especially valuable in situations where work group records and important conversations with relatives and friends are accidentally deleted.
