Google Messages is copying a Gmail feature. Google Messages may soon let you restore deleted messages. Currently, when you delete a message, the action is permanent. However, a future version of Google's messaging app may let you reverse course. Dumpster diving for deleted messages When you delete an email from your inbox, it usually goes to a bin, where it stays for a specified number of days before being permanently deleted. For Gmail, there's a 30-day window during which messages can be recovered. On Google Messages, once you delete a message, it vanishes completely. Android Authority says that may soon change. Code snippets in the beta version of the app mention a "trash folder" and "trashed conversations." The work appears to be in its early stages, which is seemingly why the outlet was unable to see the feature in action. The bin will bring peace of mind How many times have you rage deleted a message, only to wish you had kept it? Or, if you are always in a hurry like me, you might have unintentionally deleted a text during your mass-deletion spree. While deleted messages won't be kept indefinitely, a 30-day period would be enough for you to decide if you want to keep them. Right now, Google Messages lets you archive old or unwanted conversations to make them disappear from the home screen, and they can be moved back at any time.
