It is likely that most users of WhatsApp at least belong to a group conversation, be it family, with friends, at work, etc., the point is that you cannot go beyond the limit of respect in all chats, since your boss or colleagues from the company where laboras will not have a good reaction if you send something inappropriate; For this reason, the aforementioned platform belonging to Meta has given more power to group administrators so that they can eliminate any message “for everyone”, in this way the other members will not be able to read that content that is considered offensive.
Currently, the administrators of the groups of WhatsApp it only has the power to expel a member, that will change, since in the beta of the application they will now be able to eliminate any message that they consider incorrect, in short, they will act as moderators. An important detail is that after deleting a message “for everyone” it will not be invisible, since a notice will appear that says: “Deleted by the administrator,” reported the WabetaInfo technology portal.
- First, the feature is only available in the whatsapp beta for Android users, possibly coming to iOS in the coming weeks. Don’t worry, later we will teach you how to install the beta program of the application.
- If you’re an admin of a group chat or designate someone else as admin, you’ll both be able to delete messages “for everyone”.
- They just have to enter the conversation > find the message to delete > press it for a few seconds.
- A box will appear that says: “as an administrator, you are deleting messages for everyone in this chat. they will see that you deleted the message”, click on the option “Delete for all”.
- No one will be able to see the content anymore, only the notice “you deleted this message as an administrator” will appear.
Done, that would be it. Remember that if any of the members of the group has unofficial versions of WhatsAppsuch as WhatsApp Plus, GB, Fouad, etc., will be able to see the content of that deleted message, likewise, users who use applications to recover them will also be able to read them.

The objective is to make you believe that you have won a prize or cash, in order for you to follow a series of steps, among them, installing an application that has a dangerous malware virus that would put your personal information and even bank details at risk.
- Rumors and extortion: If you are one of those people who only shares disinformation that produces chaos, paranoia and even threats, you can also be sanctioned not only temporarily, but forever, of course, as long as users report the message you have sent.
