If you are a user of the most popular messaging platform in the world, WhatsApp, surely you have already used the delete function for everyone at some point. This allows you to delete a message that you have sent in the chat by mistake . However, you currently have a very limited amount of time to do so (1 hour, 8 minutes, and 16 seconds).
Well, news recently leaked that WhatsApp was working on an update that modifies the time limit for deleting messages. And everything seems to indicate that this rumor was true. It has been revealed that now on WhatsApp you will have a period of up to more than 2 days to use the delete function for everyone .
WhatsApp will give you up to 60 hours to delete your messages for everyone
The guys at WaBetaInfo (who always bring us the latest news from this messaging platform) have been in charge of revealing that the new time limit for deleting messages for everyone on WhatsApp is 2 days and 12 hours, that is, a total of 60 hours . How have they discovered it? Well, the team of developers of this website has accessed the beta version of WhatsApp 2.22.4.10 for Android and they have managed to verify that the period of time of this function has been expanded.
This is not the first time that WhatsApp has increased the limit of deleting messages for everyone . Remember that when this feature was released in 2017, users only had 7 minutes to use it. Later, an update would arrive that expanded this limit to the one available today: 68 minutes and 16 seconds. And although at first this represented a drastic increase, over the years WhatsApp would realize that this time was still insufficient.
When will this update to the delete messages for everyone feature arrive?
For now, the date on which this update will arrive, which offers a 60-hour limit to delete messages, has not been revealed. But if you can’t wait for this new time limit to arrive, we recommend that you take a look at this article on how to delete messages for everyone on WhatsApp after several hours.
