WhatsApp Launches A Feature To Allow Group Admins To Delete Messages From Everyone

JAKARTA - A few months after WhatsApp announced new features in April, now the company is releasing one of those features to Android and iOS beta testers.

The feature launched is one that allows group admins to delete any message and from anyone for everyone.

Based on the screenshot provided by WABetainfo, the image shows if you are a group admin, you can delete messages from other group members for everyone.

“As an admin, you delete messages from [Person's name] for everyone in this conversation. They'll see that you deleted it," reads the pop-up that appears when you want to delete someone's chat.

This feature can be important when many of the group members are spreading fake news or problematic messages, so that they don't spread everywhere.

If you think you have WhatsApp beta installed but can't see this feature, then there's no need to worry. Because this feature is launched to lucky people only.

This feature is only rolling out to a few Android and iOS beta testers so it will take some time to reach all accounts.

At the beginning of last August, the big boss of Meta, Mark Zuckerberg announced three new features that will increase the security of WhatsApp users in sending messages.

The three new features are hiding online status, leaving groups without notifications, and the last is blocking screenshots. These features will be rolling out to beta testers in the near future.
