WhatsApp is adding the ability to delete and revoke messages after you\u2019ve sent them, following a test of the feature for most of 2017.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll be able to delete messages up to seven minutes after you sent them, and they\u2019ll disappear from conversations or group chats.<\/p>\n

A new WhatsApp support article, spotted by The Next Web, reveals that both sender and receiver will need the latest WhatsApp for this feature to work. The feature is rolling out gradually to WhatsApp users this week.<\/p>\n

To delete messages you\u2019ll get a new option after you select delete, allowing you to \u201cdelete for everyone\u201d instead of just from your own device. While the feature appears to be rolling out, it\u2019s not fully live just yet.<\/p>\n

WhatsApp does warn that \u201crecipients may see your message before it’s deleted or if deletion was not successful,\u201d so it\u2019s not a guarantee. It\u2019s also possible that WhatsApp users will still see messages in notifications before they\u2019re deleted.<\/p>\n

Either way, this is a good addition for those mistaken messages or alcohol-induced ones. Just remember it might not always work, and WhatsApp won\u2019t notify you if it does fail.<\/p>\n
