Back in 2017, users could only delete sent messages, including audio clips, photos/videos, or texts, within eight minutes. Currently, the time limit for deleting messages sent to everyone stands at one hour, eight minutes, and 16 seconds. However, in the latest Android beta version 2.22.15.8 of the application, the time limit has been increased to two days and 12 hours for select users only.Those using WhatsApp’s beta version are not being notified about the increased time limit to delete messages. So, users have to try it out by themselves to see whether sent messages can be deleted after two days. On the other hand, WhatsApp is also bringing a delete message option that would allow group admins to delete chats of any member in the group.Moreover, WhatsApp will soon introduce custom avatars for users during video calls to safeguard their privacy and provide more opportunities for self-expression.
