Now you can delete messages for everyone on WhatsApp even after 7 days!

WhatsApp is reportedly working on extending the time limit for deleting messages for everyone. When you delete a message sent by you, there is an option for Delete for everyone. Currently, WhatsApp allows you to delete for everyone within 1 hour, 8 minutes, 16 seconds. After this specified period, you are not able to delete messages for everyone. Now WhatsApp is working to extend this deadline. However, this update is still a work in progress and is not yet available even for beta testers. WhatsApp was earlier working on removing any limits on deleting messages, but it seems that the plan has now been changed.

WABetaInfo’s Report It is said that a new update of the feature of deleting messages has been seen on WhatsApp Desktop beta 2.2147.4. The latest beta update reveals that WhatsApp is now planning to change the message deletion time limit from 1 hour, 8 minutes, 16 seconds to 7 days and 8 minutes. WABetaInfo also shared a screenshot to show that the option to delete messages appears for messages that are at least a day old.

As reported, WhatsApp reportedly planned to remove any time limit for deleting messages. For now they are planning to set a time limit of 7 days and 8 minutes. The tracker says that this feature is still in the development stage. There is a possibility that WhatsApp may change the plan again before the official release or releasing information about it from the social account.

Since it is still in development, this feature will not be available to users even on the latest WhatsApp Desktop Beta 2.2147.4. WhatsApp is also reportedly working on introducing another feature that will speed up audio messages during playback. This will work in the same way that voice notes can be scaled up to 1.5x or 2x when they are played back. An audio message is essentially a forwarded voice note or any other audio that is not recorded by the sender when sent. Although this feature was seen during testing on iOS devices, it is believed that Android devices may get this feature soon.
