WhatsApp introduced the Delete for Everyone feature in 2017. This feature, as the name suggests, provided the deletion of sent messages from both parties. Delete for Everyone, which initially worked for a limited time, can now be used even two days after the message.
But the downside of the feature is that deleted messages are “This message has been deleted.” looks shaped. That’s why many users say that the Delete for Everyone feature doesn’t actually make any sense and this situation needs to change. WABetaInfo also launched a survey on the subject on its official Twitter account. The situation, which most of the users do not like, may change in the near future. Let’s take a look at the details of the news together.
WhatsApp consulted its users to make changes to the Delete for Everyone feature!
Instant messaging application WhatsApp may be planning a change so that the deleted messages from both parties remain completely private if the Delete for Everyone feature is used. The platform launched a survey on Twitter.
The account, which wanted the poll to be voted wisely, asked WhatsApp users the following question:
Do you think that after deleting the message for everyone on WhatsApp, “This message has been deleted.” Should the phrase be removed? In this case, the recipient cannot see that you have deleted a message.
WhatsApp announced a new group feature! Admin powers increased
With the group feature that WhatsApp brought today, it allowed administrators to intervene in all messages made in the last 48 hours.
