iDeemlawfulWhatsApp group admins will soon be able to delete chats for everyone in a group. The messaging app will soon roll out a new feature that would allow group admins to delete messages for everyone. The group admins irrespective of the count will have the power to delete messages that are not in sync with the group’s ideology. They can do away with the message before everyone sees it.
Wabetainfo has informed via Twitter that the ability to delete messages in a group will soon be available to Android users on WhatsApp. “If you are a group admin, you will be able to delete any message for everyone in your groups, in a future update of WhatsApp beta for Android,” the post says. As per the screenshot shared by the WhatsApp features tracker, when a group admin deletes a message, a note saying “This was deleted by an admin” will be displayed. This will also help the other members to know which admin deleted the message.Once rolled out, it would be easier for group admins to delete obscene or objectionable messages. It would also help admins in removing messages that go against the interests of the group.
