        "content": "<p>Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia \u2014 The delete-message feature available in\nmessaging apps such as WhatsApp can sometimes leave recipients curious.\nMessages are often withdrawn before they can be read, leaving the\nrecipient wondering what they said.<\/p>\n<p>However, Android users can use a built-in system feature to view the\ncontents of deleted messages without installing a third-party app.<\/p>\n<p>The feature is called Notification History. It records notifications\nreceived by the phone, including text messages, emails and chats from\nmessaging apps.<\/p>\n<p>Once enabled, it allows users to review notifications received in the\nprevious 24 hours. Messages deleted by their sender may still leave a\nrecord and can be read in this log.<\/p>\n<p>There are some limitations. Notifications older than 24 hours are\nautomatically and permanently deleted from the system. The feature also\nonly records messages from contacts or groups whose notifications are\nenabled. If a message comes from a muted chat, the system will not\nrecord it because no notification appeared on the screen.<\/p>\n<p>The feature is useful for more than viewing messages that have\ndisappeared. It can also help users find buried notifications they have\nnot had a chance to read, and identify apps that send too many\nunnecessary alerts so they can turn those notifications off.<\/p>\n<p>Here is how to enable Notification History on Android:<\/p>\n<p>Google Pixel and Motorola phones<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><p>Open Settings.<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p>Select Notifications.<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p>Tap Notification History.<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p>Toggle the feature on.<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Samsung phones<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><p>Open the Settings app.<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p>Go to Notifications.<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p>Select Advanced Settings.<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p>Tap Notification History.<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p>Turn on the toggle beside the option.<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ul>",
