WhatsApp group administrators will be able to erase messages for the entire group.
Future upgrades to WhatsApp will include a few intriguing new features. The chat app will now offer group admins additional authority. According to rumours, WhatsApp will soon permit group administrators to remove messages for every member of the group. For a select group of beta testers, the functionality has begun to roll out on the messaging app owned by Meta. The new functionality will make it easier for group administrators to control their groups.
Given how pervasive misinformation is in Kenya right now, WhatsApp plans to give group admins more authority so they may use it wisely and halt the spread of false information. The group administrator has to be more vigilant and aware of what is happening in the group for this. According to Wabetainfo, administrators of WhatsApp groups will soon have the ability to remove messages for every member of the group. Only a few beta testers now have access to the function, but WhatsApp may start rolling it out soon.
You can try to remove an incoming message if you are a beta user and the group administrator, and you will have the option to “delete for everyone.” It denotes the presence of the characteristic.
“When you delete a message for everyone, sent by another group participant, other people can always see that you’ve deleted that message since your name shows up within the chat bubble.
If the feature is not available for your account, don’t worry: the rollout for this feature is incredibly slow and only some lucky beta testers can already experiment with it, so it will surely take a lot of time before being enabled on some other WhatsApp accounts.
The feature admin delete is available to some lucky beta users today, and more activations will be following over the coming weeks,” Wabetainfo report states.
