With this feature, users can preview a message received from any contact or a group without sending receipts even when it has been removed from the notification panel. To preview a message without marking it as seen, users just need to tap and hold on the conversation. Then you can see the preview.
2. Media files stays in phone’s gallery even when other people delete it for everyone
Another useful feature that WhatsApp offers to iPhone users is the ability to keep downloaded media files such as images, videos, GIFs attached to a message in the phone’s gallery even when any other WhatsApp user deletes the message for everyone.
Let us tell you that, when someone deletes a WhatsApp message for everyone, the media file that is attached with the message is also deleted even if it is saved in the gallery. However, if the media file is download from a message, then it won’t be erased from the phone even if the message is deleted for everyone.
3. Blur images
