WhatsApp Will Extend Time Delete Message?

WhatsApp scrolls a new rule for the message retrieval feature that has been sent alias 'delete for evryone'. From the WABetaInfo search results which often predict WhatsApp's newer features, the message deletion duration is extended to 13 hours 8 minutes and 16 seconds.

This update key is on the receiving side. So, when the sender tries to delete the message with the 'delete for everyone' feature, the message will only be successfully erased if the recipient receives the message revocation notification within 13 hours eight minutes and 16 seconds.
Notifications can be delayed due to a weak internet connection, the device is in Flight Mode, or is not active. If the new message recipient receives a message deletion notification over the duration, the message will not be deleted, and the recipient can still read the message.


For the sender, the duration is still the same. They can delete messages within one hour, eight minutes, and 16 seconds, as long as the recipient has not read the message. Since its launch, WhatsApp has further extended the duration of deletion of sent messages.
When launched last year, the message sender had to quickly pull the message with a maximum time limit of 7 minutes after being sent.

This duration modification is believed to be a WhatsApp attempt to comply with requests from users who want to delete sent messages with a longer duration. Reported by KompasTekno from Gadgets 360, Wednesday (10/17/2018), it is not clear whether WhatsApp has implemented this update evenly or not.
It is possible, this update will be applied to the back-end system, so users do not need to update the application manually.
