WhatsApp is a godsend for people who use texting as their go-to mode of communication. But often in doing that, there are one or two texts that we wish to take back as soon as we hit the send button. Luckily for us Whatsapp has heard our demands and are rolling out a new feature that allows users to delete a message within 7 minutes of sending them.

This feature is called “Delete for Everyone” and is being rolled out across the Android, iOS, and Windows platform of WhatsApp. This will allows users to delete messages sent to both individuals as well as groups within the crucial 7 minute window although it will not be as stealthy as one would hope. Instead of the message, the recipient would see “This message was deleted” notice.
Many users are welcoming this new feature even though it is not yet available for everyone, while others hope for a way to exit a group silently. Who knows, WhatsApp may just be listening!
