Washington: WhatsApp users will no longer have just an hour to delete a message after sending it. Instead, they will now have a little more than two days.
According to The Verge, to start using the new feature now, open the WhatsApp group or individual chat where you sent the message. Be sure to tap and hold the content you want to get rid of, click “Delete,” and then choose “Delete for everyone” or “Delete for me.”
However, there is a (slight) catch to this, so think twice before you start deleting everything. For this to work, all recipients must have the latest version of WhatsApp, and you won’t really get a notification if the message isn’t deleted.
However, it could be a useful new feature that gives WhatsApp a slight advantage over Apple’s iMessage instant messaging service. After all, Apple doesn’t currently offer this feature and until its new iPhone, iPad, and Mac operating systems are released, possibly this fall.
However, as of now, iOS 16 beta users are only given two minutes to cancel their subscription, and only if the recipients have also downloaded the beta version. Which, to be honest, you can’t trust. (ANI)
