The above feature will not work when the user deletes any message for everyone.

It should also be noted that the user will have only 5 seconds to retrieve the deleted message, after which the feature will not work, that is, if someone realizes their mistake and undoes the message within five seconds. undo) then OK otherwise the deleted message will not be returned.
