The function that WhatsApp finally implanted in your application with which you could “eliminate for all” the messages you had sent, will suffer certain changes that you have to know.
The option to eliminate the messages that you had sent and that you did not want the recipients to read, was one of the functions that most users of WhatsApp requested.
But this functionality has had a failure during this time, and is that just change the time and date settings on the mobile phone could delete messages sent long ago, even from previous years.
This can be a serious problem for example in court cases in which certain messages of the application are presented as evidence, and that is why WhatsApphas had to take action and avoid this.
Therefore from the following versions of the WhatsApp app, in addition to the feature that had previously the function of deleting messages that when sending a text you have 1 hour, 8 minutes and 16 seconds to “delete for all” your messages , now also if any of the recipients of your message has the mobile off or out of network will receive it equally, and the deadline is 13 hours, 8 minutes and 16 seconds.
What will change WhatsApp is the imposed limit that was 24 hours, by which if the request to delete the message did not reach the server of each user to whom you sent the message it would not be deleted, and now it will be reduced to 13 hours 8 minutes and 16 seconds .
Explained in a simple way, if any of the recipients of the message that you have deleted with the “delete for all” function has your smartphone inactive for 13 hours, 8 minutes and 16 seconds , it will receive your message and you will be able to read it without problem (it is Say, your message will not be erased for him or her).
Thus, WhatsApp affirms that there will be less possibilities of tricking mobile phones and deleting old messages.
Therefore, the next time you send a message, keep in mind that if that person is abroad , in a place without connection, or is a person who has the phone off for a large number of hours, it is possible that although delete a message that you do not want that person to read, it ends up reading it if more than 13 hours pass and your phone is still off or offline.
