Within the world of communication between users of smartphones, WhatsApp stands out above the rest with Telegram , two applications that are gradually part of our daily lives. Privacy is one of the elements that most worries users of this type of applications and it seems that WhatsApp wants to go one step further by allowing users to delete the messages they have sent .
It is a somewhat difficult functionality to understand, since deleting a message would be erased from both the sender's chat and the receiver's chat . We must also clarify that already in the title of the article it is indicated that it is an option that will be integrated soon, at the moment it is not available in WhatsApp for Android .
The news comes to us from WaBetInfo , where they have published that the new beta version of WhatsApp for iOS already allows to eliminate the sent messages . This functionality is accessible from the chat itself, once we locate the message we want to delete, we click on it and a new option will appear to "Revoke" the message .
In this way, when the recipient of the message will read the message that has been revoked, a small informative message will appear instead, saying that "the sender has revoked the message" . This functionality is not exclusive to individual chats and also works in group chats. If you regret having written something or have written something by mistake, now you can solve it (in part) .
Usually when a novelty comes to iOS, in a relatively short time it is usually available on Android. This has not always been the case and WhatsApp has always given exclusivity to iOS, but now the threat of Telegram is present and its strategy is no longer the same. I like to remember this, so we do not lose sight of the importance of alternatives .
