DELETE MESSAGE FOR EVERYONE
In the article about the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.2.22.1.1 update, we explained that WhatsApp is working on a new feature that allows deleting any message for everyone in groups if you're a group admin. This feature helps admins to moderate WhatsApp groups since they have finally more power.
In the new WhatsApp beta for Android 2.22.1.7 update, WhatsApp is still working on the feature, bringing some improvements for the next updates:
As you can see in this screenshot, WhatsApp will indicate who has deleted a message for everyone. In this case, another admin saved as "WABetaInfo" has deleted the message sent from "Test WBI".
Unfortunately, this feature is not available because it's under development and there isn't a known release date for the activation. WhatsApp is working on it to ensure the best bug-free experience for you when it's released. Be sure to follow our next changelogs to discover when the feature is enabled for beta testers.
