WhatsApp made a big change in the time limit for deleting messages, added 3 new privacy features

The company has now extended the deadline for everyone to delete messages sent on WhatsApp. The company has now extended the option ‘Delete for Everyone’ available while deleting sent messages to 2 days. That means if you want to use ‘Delete for Everyone’ then it can be done within 2 days. Earlier its time limit was 1 hour 8 minutes and 16 seconds. WhatsApp had hinted about this feature in February. With this, three new privacy features have been launched on Messenger.

WhatsApp through a post on Twitter declared Now you will have up to 2 days to delete the sent message. In 2018, the company launched this feature with a time limit of one hour. Even before this, the time limit for deleting a message was 7 minutes. Which was later increased to 1 hour 8 minutes.

To use the new feature, you and the receiver to whom you are sending the message must have the latest version of WhatsApp. The company has not yet confirmed whether this feature has been launched for both Android or iOS users or not. The Delete for Everyone feature is very easy to use. All you need to do is tap and hold on the message you want to delete. After holding you have to follow Delete > select “Delete for everyone” and the message will be deleted for the other receiver also.

Apart from this, the company has also launched three new privacy features. One of these is that you can leave a group without telling everyone, and you can also control your online status. That is, as per your wish, you can decide which person will see your online status. In the third feature, you can now stop the receiver from taking a screen shot of the sent message for one time.
