WhatsApp’s ‘Delete for Everyone’ feature finally rolled out<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

WhatsApp’s ‘Delete for Everyone’ feature finally rolled out:- WhatsApp has finally rolled out its most anticipated feature ‘Delete for Everyone’ that allows its over one billion users revoke their messages in case they sent those to a wrong person or a group.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can only delete messages for everyone for up to seven minutes after sending.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Once seven minutes have passed, there is no way to delete messages for everyone,” Facebook-owned WhatsApp said in its updated FAQ on Friday.<\/span><\/p>\n

“In order for messages to be successfully deleted for everyone, both you and your recipient must be using the latest version of WhatsApp for Android, iPhone or Windows Phone,” the micro-blogging platform said.<\/span><\/p>\n

WhatsApp was working on this feature for almost a year.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can now delete messages for everyone or just for yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Deleting messages for everyone allows you to delete specific messages you have sent to either a group or an individual chat. This is particularly useful if you sent a message to the wrong chat or if the message you sent contains a mistake,” WhatsApp noted.<\/span><\/p>\n

Messages you successfully delete for everyone will be replaced with “This message was deleted” in your recipients’ chats.<\/span><\/p>\n

Similarly, if you see “This message was deleted” in a chat, it means that the sender deleted their message for everyone.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is how it works:<\/span><\/p>\n

Open WhatsApp and go to the chat containing the message you wish to delete.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tap and hold the message and choose Delete from the menu.<\/span><\/p>\n

Optionally, select more messages to delete multiple messages at once. Then tap “Delete for Everyone”.<\/span><\/p>\n

“If you or your recipient are not using the latest version of WhatsApp for Android, iPhone or Windows Phone, this feature will not be supported,” WhatsApp said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Recipients may see your message before it’s deleted or if deletion was not successful.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to WABetaInfo, a fan website that tracks WhatsApp, this feature works for messages in text, videos, GIFs, pictures, voice messages, quoted messages and status replies.<\/span><\/p>\n

The second part is to delete messages only for yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n

Deleting messages for yourself allows you to delete your copy of messages you’ve sent or received from your phone.<\/span><\/p>\n

“This has no effect on your recipients’ chats. Your recipients will still see the messages in their chat screen,” WhatsApp said.<\/span><\/p>\n

For this, open WhatsApp and go to the chat containing the message you wish to delete.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tap and hold the message and choose Delete from the menu.<\/span><\/p>\n

Optionally, select more messages to delete multiple messages at once. Then tap “Delete for Me”.<\/span><\/p>\n

“The feature is being slowly rolled out and users can reinstall WhatsApp in order to download from the server the latest configuration,” WABetaInfo said.<\/span><\/p>\n
