WhatsApp introduced the Delete for Everyone feature in 2017. This feature, as the name suggests, provided the deletion of sent messages from both parties. Delete for Everyone, which initially worked for a limited time, can now be used even two days after the message.
But the downside of the feature is that deleted messages are “This message has been deleted.” looks shaped. That’s why many users say that the Delete for Everyone feature doesn’t actually make any sense and this situation needs to change. WABetaInfo also launched a survey on the subject on its official Twitter account. The situation, which most of the users do not like, may change in the near future. Let’s take a look at the details of the news together.
WhatsApp consulted its users to make changes to the Delete for Everyone feature!
Instant messaging application WhatsApp may be planning a change so that the deleted messages from both parties remain completely private if the Delete for Everyone feature is used. The platform launched a survey on Twitter.
The account, which wanted the poll to be voted wisely, asked WhatsApp users the following question:
Do you think that after deleting the message for everyone on WhatsApp, “This message has been deleted.” Should the phrase be removed? In this case, the recipient cannot see that you have deleted a message.
In its survey, WABetaInfo offered three options: individual chats, group and individual chats, and no. The account asked users who have a request other than the options to comment under the survey.

Please, vote wisely and RT. You can also add a comment under this tweet for additional feedback.

WABetaInfo announced that they started testing the Message Editing feature from their Twitter account the other day. In addition, he explained that this feature was developed for messages with typos. However, the innovation, which will work in as little as 15 minutes, will appear as “edited” if the message changes. It is not yet known when the message editing feature will come.
What do you, our readers, think about this issue? Do you think there should be an expression that will be clear in case of two-sided deletion of the messages, or does the feature make it meaningless when it is mentioned? You can express your thoughts in the Comments section.
