Using the new feature, admins of the groups will be able to delete text messages for the other members who are in the group. As per a post by WABetaInfo, whenever the admin will delete a message for everyone in the group, user will see a message saying, “This was deleted by an admin”. The post on twitter also stated that as per the upcoming update of WhatsApp, being a group admin, you will be allowed to delete or remove messages for the people in your group.
How will the feature benefit the group admin?
The new feature will allow the group admins to control the content shared on the group. They can remove the unnecessary messages and inappropriate content from the group. As for now, WhatsApp users can only delete their own messages. After sending a text message, voice message, or a file, the users have one hour and eight minutes to remove the message for other people. After this time count, the users can’t delete messages. Also, WhatsApp is working on the two-step verification for the web and desktop version. However, the two-step verification is already available for the WhatsApp mobile app. The user needs to enter a personal PIN while he/she register with phone number on WhatsApp. WhatsApp has not yet officially announced about the new feature that may roll out soon.
