Did you ever wonder if the two-hour ¡®Delete for Everyone¡¯ window on WhatsApp was a little too short? Well, it looks like the devs at the messaging app have heard your requests.
Leaks reveal that WhatsApp is testing extending the time frame to a whopping two days, twelve hours.
This was reported first by trusty WhatsApp features tipster WABetaInfo, who spotted the newly added feature in WhatsApp Beta for Android version 2.22.4.10.
The update sadly isn¡¯t made available to the public and is still under development. In case you didn¡¯t know, earlier there were talks that WhatsApp could extend the message deletion time frame to a whole week.
And while they were testing this out, it never really made it to the public versions of the app.?
WABetaInfo recommends taking this update too with a grain of salt as it¡¯s not confirmed if it¡¯ll ever roll out to stable users anytime soon.?

What hasn¡¯t been revealed is the timeline for its launch, but from the looks of it, it surely will make the conversations seem a lot more fun.?

The description mentions that it allows users to add groups that an admin manages to offer ease of access. The feature also allows admins to send announcements to all members and keep them up to date in a seamless way.?
