WhatsApp: Messages can apparently be deleted for longer soon

• WhatsApp is apparently working on a new “delete for all” function.
• This should allow you to remove messages from chats with other users even after three months.
• The function is currently only included in the beta version of Messenger for iOS, but not yet activated for testers.

The WhatsApp messenger has become the communication channel for many. One thing is annoying about the app, however: If you want to delete an inexperienced statement or a message full of typing errors in a chat, you have to hurry. Because this is only possible one hour after sending.

After this time, you can only delete the message on your device, it will be retained on the other cell phones. However, in the new beta version of WhatsApp for iOS, the blog WA Beta Info now discovered evidence that WhatsApp is increasing this time limit vigorously.

In the future, you will be able to delete messages for everyone up to three months after they have been sent. However, it remains unclear whether this also applies to messages that you sent before the function was introduced. WA Beta Info also points out that the function is still under development and the time limit could of course change at any time.

TikToker with “time travel trick”

A TikTok video from spring 2021 proves that it is theoretically possible to delete WhatsApp messages from the past. There, the influencer Emma Caitlin Lewis showed a trick on how you can delete messages from the past.

All you have to do is switch your cell phone to flight mode and turn the date back. However, WhatsApp now seems to be preventing this again. The trick no longer worked on two iPhones in the editorial office.

Expiring messages as an alternative

Alternatively, you can save yourself from embarrassment in chats with expiring messages. Once activated for a chat, this function automatically deletes all messages sent in it after seven days.

If you want to try out new features of the messenger yourself in advance, you can register for the WhatsApp beta.
