How to prevent messages from being deleted for everyone on WhatsApp

What for now is a failure, could become a possibility of salvation. For whom? Well, for all WhatsApp users who have been victims of a deleted message for everyone. We explain ourselves. Just a week ago, we told you that WhatsApp had released a very important new feature to common users.

We were referring, logically, to the possibility of deleting messages for everyone on WhatsApp.A feature that includes the possibility of killing a message sent through a conversation or a group. Just make sure we remove it within seven minutes.

Through this mechanism, what is achieved is to make the message disappear from the map. However, a trace of what you have deleted will remain. That is, the text, image, video or GIF you sent will disappear, but instead a message will indicate that content has been removed.

In the last few hours, it has been discovered that this is precisely the feature that will allow curious users to recover deleted items. This is a bug, but you might find it useful for now.

As mentioned in my article..do you understand the problem?Your messages that other contacts have quoted won't be deleted for everyone.

This is a good trick to save messages.. but at the same time it's very bad developed. pic.twitter.com/a9uj2p4KQ3
