The popular Internet-based messaging service
is now making that possible with its latest update, albeit if you do so
within seven minutes of sending the message.
"Deleting messages
for everyone allows you to delete specific messages you have sent to
either a group or an individual chat," WhatsApp said in a blogpost.
It added that the feature would be particularly useful if users send a message to the wrong chat or if the message contains a mistake.
The deleted message will be replaced with "This message was deleted" in the recipients' chats.
"You can only delete messages for everyone for
up to seven minutes after sending. Once seven minutes have passed,
there is no way to delete messages for everyone," the blogpost said.
WhatsApp has over a billion daily users. India
is the largest market for WhatsApp with over 200 million monthly active
users as of February 2017.
To delete a message, users need to tap and
hold the message that is to be deleted. Users can tap more messages to
delete multiple messages at once.
