WhatsApp could soon let group admins delete messages for everyone

Over the past few months, we have reported a bunch of new features that WhatsApp has been testing. Now, a couple of new features have been spotted by WABetaInfo on the chat platform. The first feature is set to give more control over a group to group administrators. This new feature will let the admin delete messages for everyone.

The feature has been pushed to a limited set of testers and was spotted in the WhatsApp beta v2.22.17.12. It is expected to be available for everyone very soon. Using this feature, the group admin could delete any message for everyone.

There is another feature under testing where WhatsApp is working on a chatbot that will deliver in-app announcements. These in-app announcements will include announcements for new WhatsApp features right within the application. Apart from new incoming WhatsApp features, this in-app announcement feature will also deliver tips and tricks to users to improve their WhatsApp experience.

When the admin deletes any message, the group members will be able to see that the admin has deleted a message sent by another member of the group. On the other hand, the WhatsApp in-app announcement feature is still a work in progress. Both these features could soon land on your Samsung Galaxy smartphone.
