WhatsApp's 'Delete for All' feature for photos, text, GIFs: Learn Hoe to use it

Are you guilty of ever sending a text message to a person it wasn't meant for? These mistakes are followed by embarrassment and waste of the receiver's time. The moment you hit enter, you are met with this sinking feeling of doom, knowing that you can't revoke the message. WhatsApp, however, has now come up with a feature that may come to your rescue. Starting today, iOS, Android and Windows phone users can recall the wrongly sent messages or messages that are mistakenly sent to the other chats, through WhatsApp's newly developed feature. According to wabetainfo.com, the messaging application owned by social media giant Facebook had been working on this feature since 2016.



Delete for All feature

 The Delete for Everyone feature works for any message type in WhatsApp: text messages, images, videos, GIFs, voice messages, stickers (in future), contact cards, files, locations, quoted messages and status replies.

WhatsApp's Delete for Everyone feature doesn't work for in every circumstance:


  • Message contained in a quoted message cannot be revoked
  • Users can delete messages sent in a Broadcast List
  • Messages can be recalled only within 5 minutes of time frame
  • The feature works only if both sender and receiver are using the updated version of WhatsApp
  • The feature does not work for Symbian OS

Learn to use this feature

Step 1: Select the messages you want to delete.
WhatsApp will ask for a confirmation - Delete for Everyone, Delete for me and Cancel.



Step 2: After you select "Delete for All" option, WhatsApp will reflect a warning - "Messages you selected will be deleted for everyone on the latest version of WhatsApp in this chat. It's give you the option to tap on OK and learn more".

Step 3:
Once you've selected "OK" in Step 2, your WhatsApp chat will display "You deleted this message for everyone".

How does Delete for all feature work?

 When you delete a message for everyone, WhatsApp sends a fake copy of the message to the recipient. The recipient gets the fake copy. However, his/her device won’t show the notification and it won’t save it in chat history.

If the receiver's device gets the message, it will be revoked.

The recalled message will be also deleted in the notifications center (on iOS) of the recipient at the exact moment you have revoked it (if the Internet connection is available for the user). On Android, the message will be updated with the “This message was deleted for everyone” text.

Haven't received the WhatsApp yet?

 If you didn’t receive the activation yet, you may try to reinstall WhatsApp
In case you would like to reinstall WhatsApp:

— Open your WhatsApp Settings > Chats > Backup and perform it.
— Delete WhatsApp
— Configure your WhatsApp, inserting your phone number again, the SMS code and the Two-Step Verification PIN (if you have previously enabled it), restore your chat history and verify.

WhatsApp features ranked, as per the way we feel most impact. WhatsApp is the most popular messaging app in the world, used by over 1.2 billion people worldwide and 200 million in India alone. Despite its success, the Facebook-owned company has not become complacent and always keeps the competition on its toes by releasing new features every few weeks. 2017, of course, saw the overhauled WhatsApp Status (an aping of Snapchat), but there have been many other small updates this year that didn’t get as much attention. From increased media sharing limit to video streaming, we take a look at all the new WhatsApp features released this year alone.

 Do you know? Why your phone is slower than when it was new? Your phone was faster yesterday than it is today, and will be slower tomorrow. Bit Rot is a real thing. Computers are kind of like people — as they age they tend to get a little slower and flaws are easier to see. Our phones are computers shrunk down to be pocket-sized and easy to carry around. And that means as time goes by, things aren't happening as quickly as they used to or things can get a little buggy. This is universal; it happens to Galaxy phones and LG phones and Pixel phones and iPhones and every other phone that does more than making calls and send texts. Some people say they don't see it happening, and that's because of why it happens and the way software is written for all the different phones out in the wild. But it is still happening on your phone right now, and always will be. Let's take a look at what is commonly known as "Bit Rot" and see if we can't understand th
