Delete for Everyone
Most of us would have faced the situation of having sent a wrong message to the wrong person. It is at such critical scenarios that we will come handy. For all personal and professional communication needs, WhatsApp would come handy. As there is hardly a blurred line amidst your list of names, it is very easy to send such inappropriate texts to some other contact rather than whom you intended to send.
With this new Delete for Everyone feature, you can simply click on to the respective wrongly sent message and click on delete for everyone. It will thus get deleted from the receiver’s smartphone device. This comes with a few terms and conditions though. The message sent should be deleted within 7 minutes of sending the text.
The receiver’s WhatsApp application should be kept updated, as the feature is unavailable in the old versions. This update will not be available on Symbian operating system. Eventually, the feature shall be made available in most other devices. iOS may however get the feature a bit earlier.
A lot of new features are being introduced by WhatsApp continuously. And there is in fact the feature called Stories with which it is entering the social media realm.
While the other features like conference video, and voice calling are available on many other applications even before the launch on WhatsApp, the abundance of user base on WhatsApp makes it an instant hit. There is whopping 1 billion daily users and 1.3 billion monthly active users.
The recently launched Live Location sharing feature is already available on other mobile apps like Messenger, Google Maps, Telegram, etc. but the same may reach wider range of audience on WhatsApp.
