WhatsApp’s one of the most anticipated features introduced recently is getting a new update again. ‘Delete for Everyone’ feature is now available with a new update in the newer beta version of WhatsApp beta (v2.18.69). It allows Android users to delete WhatsApp messages in a chat till 4096 seconds, which is 68 minutes and 16 seconds. The current stable build of the app only lets users delete the message for everyone after 420 seconds, which is 7 minutes. This extension of the delete for everyone will make users delete the message even after one hour and six minutes.
