WhatsApp offers the following feature that only group admins can use

Facebook continues to add a strange novelty to its main messaging application: WhatsApp. In the latest beta version of the application, Zuckerberg’s company added the possibility that group admins can delete posts from any participant. An interesting feature to be able to moderate the content of these group conversations.

The possibility of better moderating conversations arrives on WhatsApp

As reported in WABetaInfo, the latest version of the WhatsApp beta includes the ability to delete any message in a group chat. A deletion that, as we can see in the screenshot that accompanies this article, is preceded by some notices explaining that all the participants of the group will see that it was us who deleted the message.

We also note, in addition, that the message will be removed for all group participants if they have the latest version of the app

. This means that some of them, with older versions of the application, can continue to access content even after deleting it.

At this time, we have no idea when Facebook plans to roll out this feature to all users. Although seeing the pace of updates to the latest versions, it may be the wait is getting longer than we would like

. In any case, if we are administrators of groups within the application, sooner or later we will have a new tool to moderate conversations, if necessary.
