[Lifestyle] WHATSAPP WILL ALLOW TO ERASE EVERYTHING YOU HAVE WRITTEN, EVEN IF OTHERS HAVE READ IT

[Akrapovic]

Now that time reaches a few minutes.

 

 

WhatsApp is one of the applications that think that everything we write should be printed in stone, in such a way that it cannot be edited or modified and, in the event that we want to delete it so that no one in a group can see it again, no it is possible more than removing it from our smartphone. Thus, that so shameful that we said will continue there on the screen of the rest of the friends or family well present.

This is because the current delete for everyone function is only active for a few minutes, practically the time that elapses since we sent the message and it is read by the other members of the conversation. So WhatsApp is going to open our hand a little so that this possibility extends a little further in time, although the double blue check appears indicating that everyone present has seen it.

Erase everything you can
What the colleagues of WABetaInfo have discovered is nothing more than an improved function of that delete for all that extends its period of validity from those few minutes up to several months. This they have been able to demonstrate by showing a screenshot in which they are able to delete from a chat a message that was sent on August 23. Something that is impossible to do with the current versions of WhatsApp for iOS and Android from official stores.

 

At the moment, although it seems proven that Facebook are working to extend that period, the WABetaInfo colleagues are unable to specify what that maximum grace period will be, if it will reach three months, six or a whole year. It will be a matter of seeing how its development evolves and waiting for the application itself to indicate it in a concrete way.

What there is no doubt is that such a function was necessary since our day-to-day WhatsApp leads to many incidents, frictions, confidences and statements that, seen over time, or are ridiculous, or violent or everything. at the same time, so there is nothing better than to bury them forever thanks to this erase for all. At the end of the day, there are things that are forgotten and leaving written evidence does not exactly help to achieve it. For now, and like all these functions that reach the beta versions, we will have to wait to see when they decide to add it to the official builds of the app. But knowing how we know Facebook, we have to wait a few months.
