WhatsApp extends time limit to delete a message to 60 hours

WhatsApp currently permits you to delete a message for up to 2 days and 12 hours (60 hours in total), therefore you will take away an accidentally sent chat even after hours. Previously, this limit was 1 hour, 8 minutes, and 16 seconds — yep, there have been seconds concerned.

The company’s tweet concerning this feature simply mentioned “little over 2 days,” however did not specify the 12-hour half.
WhatsApp 1st introduced the unsend feature back in 2017 with a point in time of simply seven minutes however later raised it to at least 1 hour and 8 minutes.

Last year, it was noted by WABetaInfo that the company might take into account of giving 7-day limit, but with this new update, it has provided users with a time frame of two and a half days.

In comparison, rival chat app Telegram has no limit on deleting a message, therefore you can easily remove conversation years after sending it. 

Apple is orienting in the opposite direction; after introducing the unsend feature for iOS 16 at its Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) in June, the company reduced the limit from 15 mins to 2 minutes in the fourth version of the iOS 16 developer beta last month.
WhatsApp is additionally introducing new privacy options to its app together with interference screenshots for “view-once messages” and therefore the ability to go away silently without notifying once.
