A new function of WhatsApp is emerging on channels like WABetaInfo. The company may be planning to remove the time limit for delete messages on WhatsApp. This limit has been present since the possibility of delete messages in the messaging app. It has varied many times and now it seems that it could be eliminated entirely. This would leave the ability for users to delete messages from long ago.
Goodbye to the time limit: delete WhatsApp messages from months ago
The catch you have leaked WABetaInfo reveals that users could delete messages from months ago without any problem. The limit imposed at this time is an hour and it would disappear with the next update. It is not clear why, but the images make it quite clear that the possibility would be there.
If at this time you want delete a message that you sent 3 months ago you can only do it for yourself: the other person will continue to see that message no possibility of changing this situation. With the new feature update you could delete a message from 3 months ago for all chat users, be it a group or an individual conversation.
It is something that is interesting and that, sure, is used by many users. We cannot deny that it collides with the position it has held WhatsApp from the start of the function, although we still cannot confirm that the limit to be completely removed.
It is also not known whether the unlimited message deletion it will be only for messages sent since the update takes effect or for all messages that you have sent over time.
At the moment we have to wait to know the plans of the company, because it is possible that this new function of message deletion hits WhatsApp Beta in the coming weeks. If it bothered you not being able to delete messages sent a long time ago, it is possible that soon you will be able to do so.
