During a WhatsApp conversation, sometimes you want to delete one of your messages so that no one can see it. Uses a clumsy expression or makes a slightly embarrassing joke that we immediately regret. Whats up will allow us to do without time limit.
As always, the WABetaInfo site is the first to give details about this feature. Initially, it was possible to delete a message for everyone (it is also possible to delete a message just for yourself) in 7 minutes. This time was later increased to one hour and eight minutes. WABetaInfo shows it is now possible delete old messages older than two months, for example, with a screenshot showing the manipulation in a chat dated August 23.
WhatsApp lets you delete old messages
What is most surprising is that WhatsApp has not communicated on the matter. The time limit has therefore been cautiously extended and for now, we don’t know exactly how long it is possible to delete a message. Is there still a limit? Also, this is a beta version and it is possible that messages sent before this feature was added may not be deleted eventually. We don’t know when this thing will arrive for the general public. It may take time.
That’s why WhatsApp continues to evolve through micro-updates like this over the months. Recently, it was detected (not yet public) emoji-shaped reactions or the possibility of blocking your sensitive information from unwanted people. Recently, it is picture-in-picture mode that will allow you to enjoy content without having to leave a conversation. We are still waiting for distribution.
