WhatsApp continues to add interesting new features to its mobile (and desktop) application. The last thing the Meta-owned app is testing is giving more power to group admins. How? Giving them full control over the conversationand offering the possibility of deleting content for all participants.
As reported wabetainfoIn the latest beta of WhatsApp for Android, group administrators have the ability to delete messages from other participants for everyone in their groups. This feature is, of course, limited to beta users, and available in WhatsApp for Android version 2.22.19.17.
The functionality, although present in the beta, is not available to everyone. If you want to check if WhatsApp has activated this function in your account, it is very simple. You just have to try delete a message sent by another participant within a group of which you are an administrator. If the feature is turned on for you, a “delete for everyone” will appear, similar to private chats.

In addition, according to the aforementioned media, WhatsApp already has this new feature very advanced, and is launching it for some specific users. In fact, it is also available on a trial basis for people using stable versions of the app.
Again, you will have to test, if you are an administrator, if the app allows you to delete a message for everyone.
Along with this new functionality, the latest WhatsApp beta also includes more new features. The ability to view status updates within the chat list is also present.
In addition, now the app allows that, if you do not like to see the statuses within the chat list, you can disable it from the status tab so that they no longer appear in the chat list. Of course, for now, only in beta.
