WhatsApp to empower group admin to delete anyone's post

WhatsApp, an instant messaging app, has developing a new feature for its users which is expected to be released in future app update. WhatsApp has announced that it has rolled out a feature in which the group administrators will have the option to remove messages from other users for everyone in their groups.

If a user wants to check whether the feature is available for his/her account, the app asks to delete a message sent from another member within a group where the user is an admin. If “delete for everyone” appears, it indicates the feature is eventually accessible for the user's account. 

WhatsApp Beta for Android 2.22.17.12 update

According to Wabetainfo, “This feature was limited to certain beta testers but thanks to the new WhatsApp beta for Android 2.22.19.17 update, more group admins are finally able to use the feature today!”

Additionally, WhatsApp is enabling users to check status updates directly from the chat list. After installing the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.22.18.17 update, even this feature was initially only available to a selected few fortunate beta testers, but the update is now widely spread.

As per Wabetainfo, “If you do not like viewing them within the chat list and you don’t even use status updates, you can mute status updates from the status tab so they won’t show up within the chat list anymore.”

After installing the most recent beta, these features would now be accessible to all beta testers. If users still do not have these features, it will gradually be made available to more and more users over the next few weeks, according to Wabetainfo.
