Very soon you will be able to use the latest WhatsApp feature if you are the admin of a group.
WhatsApp proves to be a perfect communication tool, especially for different types of communities thanks to groups. Precisely for this same reason, from Meta they try to improve the features available in one of its most popular applicationsto facilitate the work of all people who choose this mode of chat on a daily basis.
While very soon statuses will become more important in the app and from Meta they continue to block screenshots in WhatsApp, we recently got to discover another new feature that will reach WhatsApp users sooner rather than later: administrators of any group will be able to delete messages sent by other users
WhatsApp group admins will soon have the option to delete messages from other users
When over time more and more users are added to WhatsApp groups, the truth is that keeping order is not always easy. On many occasions, the fact that there are so many people makes coexistence unnecessarily difficult, and the Meta team seems to be increasingly aware of this and the problems it causes.
Latest WhatsApp news will only be available to group admins
With this in mind, it seems that they made the decision to give WhatsApp group admins a bit more control over messages who are sent. It is precisely for this reason that any administrator will have the possibility of delete messages sent by other people
As you commented WABetaInfo, although the ability to delete other people’s messages to group administrators has been present for some time in the beta version of WhatsApp for Android, it was until now reserved for this operating system. However, it seems that little by little users who have the development version of WhatsApp for the iPhone now also have the option
The operation is similar to deleting messages sent by ourselves. You just have to press and hold a WhatsApp message sent by another person and choose the delete option. Then in the options you have to choose “Delete for everyone” then the message in question will be deleted for everyone group members, not being able to see the content through the app.

For now the feature is only available for WhatsApp beta users, both for iOS and Android, but it is expected to officially reach users in the coming weeks. As a side note, let’s say for messages to delete all group members must have the latest version WhatsApp installed, otherwise the tool will not work.
