TIL Android has a notification history. I've been using Android phones for over a decade and never new.
You can use this fact to see deleted messages on whatsapp. Just enable the notificaion history and Now whenver someones sends you somethign regrettable and deletes it you can still see it in notif history. The reason you need the notif history is whatsapp actually live wipes the notifictions for deleted messages.
This is curiously specific, does this happen a lot?
Starting from Android 11 (2020 ish), so not even that old
Where is this? I never saw that feature
It's really handy, I just wish they'd add a search feature; sometimes I need to look for a notification from a particular app and it can't be done :(
