Cancel message on WhatsApp or delete message on Telegram, which is better?

The function of canceling messages in WhatsApp is about to drop. Although perhaps the results of the action will not be to everyone's taste. Who has not messed up by sending a message to the wrong recipient? Or have you written something to someone, angry, impulsively, and then regretted it? But what has been sent… sent is. And then the blue double check would appear and we knew they had read it. And then came the downpour. That no matter how much we deleted the message, it had reached the recipient.There was no going back. You delete, that is useless. Until now.

What is the main drawback of this, a priori, fantastic option? Well, WhatsApp is going to inform the recipient that we have deleted a message. Our friend, who may not be a friend at that moment, will receive a message like this: "The sender has deleted this message" And of course, they arrive the suspicions. But we're going to leave that for last.

Differences between deleting a message on WhatsApp and deleting a message on Telegram

The Telegram messaging service is always ahead of its great competitor, WhatsApp. At the beginning of this year, from the paper plane app we could already delete the messages we sent. The requirements were simple:

• To delete a message in Telegram, we just have to press a few seconds on it until it highlights. Then make sure that we leave the 'Delete for XXX' box checked dwhere 'XXX' is the name of the sender.
• We have a maximum of 48 hours to revoke the message on Telegram. Although, to be honest, it is very difficult that in the course of two days the recipient has not read said message.
• You can delete both messages sent to recipients and groups.
• The recipient will not receive any notice that you have deleted the message, so rest assured.

As for WhatsApp,we have one made of lime and another made of sand.

• To delete a message, we must do the same as in Telegram, without needing to press an additional box. Mark it, delete it, and you're done.
• We have a maximum of five minutes to delete messages. No, it is not 48 hours, but it is a more realistic time than the one proposed by Telegram. Although many would undoubtedly appreciate having all those hours to delete the message.
• Messages sent to recipients as well as to groups can be deleted.
• The recipient will always know when you have deleted a message that was addressed to them. And here the problems begin.

"Why did you delete the message"

This is going to be the most repeated question by people who see how a message disappears in front of their noses. Have you sent me the wrong message? Who was it addressed to? To a person I don't want to know exists? What will he regret? In this case, one does not know what is worse: whether to make a mistake and assimilate what has been done or to have to give explanations after the fact.The best thing, as in any case, is to keep a cool head and use common sense. Look before you send the message. Count to 30 if you're angry and want to sing 40 to someone.

Because these are going to be the main reasons why you will delete a message: error and anger. And, seen what has been seen, we prefer the Telegram system: cancel and that's it, nobody finds out anything.
