WhatsApp releases feature that allows you to undo sent messages

Eagerly awaited for weeks since it was announced, the feature that will allow you to delete sent messages is already being released by WhatsApp. The company stated on its official website that the function is now available, but that the test path until this was possible was a long time – the new function must reach users in a gradual.

The option of 'cancel' sent messages will allow you to delete the messages even on the device recipient, so he doesn't see them anymore. However, some rules are included in the functionality: you will only be able to delete messages sent in last 5 minutes, in addition, the recipient will not see the content of the conversation, but will know that the text was canceled by you.

O WhatsApp also alerts users to the possibility of errors; as the cancellation requires a connection to the device of the sender and recipient, it is possible that if this network fails, the messages will not be aborted in time and can be read. In these cases, the software will not display any warning, but you will notice that the message that should have been deleted will continue present in the conversation.

When will I receive on my whatsapp?

In some days. Like Facebook, the Whatsapp release your updates gradually, randomly choosing the users who will receive new versions of the application. If you are in a big hurry, you can try to download the software directly from the WhatsApp website – this tip usually works, but it only applies to device owners Android; iOS and company will have to wait, unfortunately.

Even if you already have the new feature, be aware: it is necessary that both devices, both the one who sends and the one who receives, already have the new version of the application. Therefore, care must be taken in these coming days; If you send messages to a device with an outdated version of the software, it will not be possible to cancel them.

Update

In further contact with the showmetech, the press office of the Whatsapp told us that there is not release forecast for the feature - the information displayed on the website, which detailed the operation of the cancellation of messages, was a error in the FAQ section (FAQ). Therefore, the official launch has not yet taken place, but the function is still awaited by many, which should rush the developers on delivery of the update.
