Yes Whatsapp and much troubles yet to come ….
You would be lying if you have never regretted
sending messages on WhatsApp that you weren't
meant to send. These messages might have
been to your boss, your professors, that sulky
colleague or just maybe you were at fault and
were drunk. However, that damage has been
done. Although, according to India Today, that
damage, if done recently can be fixed to a
certain extent. The reports suggest that the
Mark Zuckerberg-acquired company was working
on developing a new feature which would allow
the user to 'send' or 'edit' sent messages. If
reports are to be believed, the sent messages
would also get removed or edited as per the
actions are chosen by the user on this side.
According to WABetaInfo, the messages sent on
WhatsApp iOS 2.17.1.869 receives a separate
'Revoke' button, which on clicking deletes the
text. If the website is to be believed, the sent
text gets deleted from both the phones. It was
also reported that the revoke feature works the
same way for photos and videos. While it is not
yet clear as to when this feature will be made
available, it can be expected to get rolled out
first for iPhone users.
It has to be brought into notice that Gmail had
rolled out a similar feature in 2015. The features
that could send the sent messages and save the
users from certain embarrassment. If WhatsApp
introduces the feature by the end of the year,
this would be the messaging app's second big
update in 2016. The Zuckerberg owned company
had added the video call feature to its app for
both Android and the iOS and rolled it out in 180
countries including India.
