You will now have up to two days to delete “for everyone” messages on WhatsApp.

Surely you experienced that tense moment when you sent a message on WhatsApp and realized that it was not the right chat, or, conversely, perhaps you also happened to regret it by sending it.

So far, we have had up to 1 hour and something to be able to exclude “for everyone”, a feature that in 2017 Meta decided to integrate. Remember that initially WhatsApp limited the ability to delete messages to 7 minutes after they were sent, and then extended it.

In this case, it’s as simple as if you’re within the set time range, keep clicking on the sent message and in the options, click “Delete for All”.

Well it’s for some it was a real lifesaverHowever, there are others who have complained that there is not enough time if you did not understand during this incorrect submission. WhatsApp has heard the latter’s prayers and increased the time allotted for you to delete.

Specific, WhatsApp users will have 2 days and 12 hours. to delete a message after it has been sent. This change in the ability to delete sent messages was announced by the company itself on its Twitter profile.

With all of this, remember that your recipient will see a “This message has been deleted” notification, which, despite not being a real message you didn’t want them to read, won’t prevent an accidental question.

Note, on the other hand, what’s really curious is how WhatsApp and Apple’s app, iMessage, go their separate ways. And the thing is, in the latest iOS 16 betas, users had 15 minutes to unsend a message. Now, with the latter, this limit has been reduced to two minutes, which has left users bewildered.
