WhatsApp allows deleting sent messages for much longer
Anyone who writes a message in WhatsApp that they would rather not have sent afterwards can delete it in individual or group chats for a certain period of time. There is a tight time limit in which this works. WhatsApp initially started with 7 minutes and that Time limit then to 1 hour, 8 minutes and 16 seconds elevated. It stayed that way. If you wait too long, you can no longer delete messages for everyone. But that is changing.
According to information from WABetaInfo, the time limit for deleting sent messages will be increased significantly for all readers. In the trial version of WhatsApp for Android version 2.22.15.8, the WhatsApp experts were able to determine that the new time limit is 2 days and 12 hours. So you could delete messages that were significantly older.
But that could change in the final version. When developing the current delete function for messages that had already been sent, various time periods were tried out in advance. It is also unclear whether only Messages will be deleted at the new time limit that were sent after the installation of the new version. A lot is currently happening in the background on WhatsApp, so there is still a lot that is unclear. It is assumed that there will no longer be a time limit at all in the future and that WhatsApp will steadily increase here if the infrastructure in the background is adapted.

WhatsApp improves privacy
It was only recently announced that WhatsApp would like to greatly improve privacy. In the future, you can decide for yourself who can see your online status. This can then be completely deactivated, so that you can move around WhatsApp incognito.
