Now you have some extra time to save face and delete it \u2014 well, if you\u2019re using WhatsApp, at least.<\/p>\n<p id=\"WOiw2Q\">WhatsApp users now have a little over two days after sending a message to delete it instead of just one hour, the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/whatsapp\/status\/1556721516968132611?s=21&#038;t=IrfBUc-iuD2LXNNGiSyLcw\">company announced<\/a> today.<\/p>\n<p id=\"mMsH2O\">To start using the new feature right now, open up the WhatsApp group or individual chat where you sent the message(s). Make sure to tap and hold the content you want to get rid of, click <strong>\u201cDelete,\u201d<\/strong> and then select either <strong>\u201cDelete for everyone\u201d<\/strong> or <strong>\u201cDelete for me.\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n<aside id=\"jdLn1o\">\n<\/aside>\n<p id=\"vzs07h\">Yet before you go off on a deleting spree, be aware there\u2019s a (slight) catch: all recipients must be <a href=\"https:\/\/faq.whatsapp.com\/486821732268633\/?locale=en_US\">updated to the most recent version of WhatsApp<\/a> in order for this to actually work \u2014 and you won\u2019t actually receive a notification if the message <em>didn\u2019t <\/em>delete.<\/p>\n<p id=\"Ir7YkF\">Still, this could be a handy new feature that may help WhatsApp gain a slight advantage over Apple\u2019s iMessage instant message service. Apple, after all, still doesn\u2019t offer this capability and only will whenever the heck its new iPhone, iPad, and Mac operating systems are released, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/8\/3\/23290747\/apple-ipad-ipados-16-delay-launch-october\">possibly this fall<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p id=\"fyRFYG\">For now, however, the iOS 16 beta only gives users two minutes to pull the plug \u2014 and only so long as recipients have downloaded the beta version as well. Which, let\u2019s face it, isn\u2019t something you can count on.<\/p>\n<aside id=\"G9Nvfd\">\n<\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<p><code><br \/><\/br><\/code><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/8\/8\/23297405\/whatsapp-delete-texts-for-everyone-meta-apple-imessage\">https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/8\/8\/23297405\/whatsapp-delete-texts-for-everyone-meta-apple-imessage<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source: Sent a wildly inappropriate text meant for your boo to, I don\u2019t know, your boss?
