WhatsApp is raising the time limit for the option of Deleting the message for everyone.
The new time limit of Delete For Everyone will be 2 days and 12 hours.
The current Delete For Everyone on WhatsApp is 1 hour, 8 minutes, and 16 seconds.
WhatsApp will soon let you delete those accidental messages or spelling mistakes within 2 days and 12 hours. The scoop comes from WABetaInfo. That’s way more than the present limit of 1 hour, 8 minutes, and 16 seconds. So, now that the permitted duration is longer, you should be getting plenty of time to walk back on messages you don’t want to be sent anymore.
Currently, the new WhatsApp feature is available only in the beta version. Still, let’s have a look at what we know about it so far.
WhatsApp Delete For Everyone Time Limit: 2 Days, 12 Hours
WABetaInfo tells us that the WhatsApp beta for Android version 2.22.15.8 has got an extended time frame for deleting messages for everyone within a span of 2 days and 12 hours.
The blog post notes, “The previous limit was 1 hour, 8 minutes, and 16 seconds. We just tried to delete a message sent yesterday and it worked!”
We also learn that the instant messaging app is also coming up with the feature to delete any WhatsApp message in groups if you’re a group admin. This is likely to be rolled out as a future WhatsApp update.
