Chatting with your bestie is fun and stress-bursting but not
if the message is accidentally delivered to your boss instead of that friend.
To save you from such embarrassment WhatsApp is working on a recall button
feature and now there is a report that the feature could soon come to Android
and iOS users.
According to the reports from the fan site WABetaInfo, the
messaging app is finally testing the feature and it will be called as Delete
for Everyone feature.
"WhatsApp is finally testing the Delete for Everyone
feature: the server finally works and it successfully recalls the message. Also
if the server works, this does not mean that the feature is currently
enabled. It will be remotely enabled
later and seen that WhatsApp 'enabled' their servers for the Delete for
Everyone feature, it may really be enabled soon," the site posted on
Twitter.
