The most useful WhatsApp feature “Delete for everyone” now comes with a new time limit.
The popular messaging app Whatsapp now extends the time limit to 4,096 seconds i.e. 68 minutes and 16 seconds, from a seven-minute deadline in their latest update. The feature is currently live for WhatsApp Android beta version 2.18.69, with a stable release for Android and iOS to follow soon.
The “delete for everyone” option was introduced in November last year. Though the feature is quite useful, some users argued the deadline for deleting a message was too short.

A new WhatsApp for iOS update (2.18.31) is available on AppStore.
It is a bug fixes update, but it has the new “Delete for everyone” limit, that’s 1 hour, 8 minutes and 16 seconds.— WABetaInfo (@WABetaInfo) March 8, 2018
The new updates bring improvements to the sticker feature and an option to personalize icons on Android. Whatsapp is also testing a new ‘Group Description’ feature on the Android beta and Windows versions of its app. It lets users add a Group description by simply tapping on the Group name. The option for adding a description appears below the group picture. Non-group admins can also add a group description.
