New Delhi, January 30: Meta owned instant messaging app WhatsApp is working on a new feature that would allow group admins on WhatsApp to delete messages for other members of the group as well. According to WhatsApp tracker WABetaInfo, a user will see the ‘This was deleted by an admin’ message whenever any admin deletes a particular message.
“If you are a group admin, you will be able to delete any message for everyone in your groups, in a future update of WhatsApp beta for Android,” WABetaInfo said in a tweet.
The WhatsApp tracker also shared a screenshot with the tweet, showing how a message deleted by a group admin will show for Android users. Once rolled out, it would be easier for group admins to delete obscene or objectionable messages. Meta-Owned Messenger’s End-to-End Encrypted Chats Now Available to All.
