Wrong Send WhatsApp 1 Hour Will Be Withdrawn

WhatsApp inaugurated the "Delete for Everyone" feature at the end of 2017. It allows users to retrieve messages that have been sent to a chat buddy either in the personal or group space.

Only, WhatsApp set a time limit of 7 minutes after the sent message. If more than that, "Delete for Everyone" does not apply.

Presumably the time limit was considered too short. WhatsApp also increase the time limit to more than one hour, precisely 4096 seconds or 68 minutes 16 seconds.

This update of time limits can be enjoyed by users who follow the beta program in WhatsApp version 2.18.69 for Android. Not yet clear when the official release and when available for iOS users.

If you are curious to enjoy this update, please join the beta program via this link, as compiled KompasTekno, Monday (5/3/2018), from WABetaInfo.
