WhatsApp will allow you to delete messages already sent
In WhatsApp they are willing to give their messaging application a twist. After years of being hierarchical to conquer all kinds of users with a simple tool, little by little they are testing new fashionable functions. While their Statuses arrive, which will work like the Instagram Stories, work is already known on a function to delete messages already sent.
It has been WABetaInfo, an account that often scrutinizes the details of each new beta or test version of WhatsApp, who has found the clues.Apparently, and at the moment only in the beta or test version of WhatsApp for iPhone , there are references to a function to delete already sent messages. It appears as “revoke” or revoke in Spanish, and with it you could undo a message that has already been received by the user.
As we say, for now it appears only in the beta version of iOS numbered as 2.17. 1.869 and, apparently, it is not hidden as it usually happens with other features that WhatsApp previously tested. With this, those users who are in the betatesters or testers program, can start to undo committed conversations, if they want to delete their evidence.
At the moment, and according to the leaks, the revoke function would allow to delete a text message, a photo or a video that already They have been sent.Thus, the recipient of said content will never be able to see it again, avoiding recording a conversation, a specific message or content that is not wanted to be kept.
To date, deleting messages from a thread did not effectively remove them from the thread. It just made them disappear from the thread of the own user, but without affecting at any time the receiver of said message. That is, it cleaned the chat but without deleting the actual content. Now this would change the rules, offering a functionality that will give a lot of play and more than a headache to many of the users.
Unsurprisingly, considering that the feature is still in beta/test version, it's little more than an experiment . It may still undergo modifications or even not be released, although given the current level of development, it is most likely that it will only be delayed a few weeks before reaching all users.
At the moment it is unknown if revoking messages on WhatsApp is really effective. That is, if it will avoid leaving any trace in the user's files that confirms that, in that place, there was a text message, a photo, a video or other content. Of course, it will not be a definitive solution either. After all, it is always possible to take a screenshot to leave a graphic record of everything that has been discussed in a conversation.
In short, a new advance by WhatsApp, which continues to add features typical of other messaging applications such as Snapchat or Telegram to avoid losing the young audience. And you, will it revoke many messages in your conversations on WhatsApp?
