WhatsApp’s latest beta update for Android will allow group admins to delete messages for everyone. With this feature, admins will be able to “clean up” group chats. While this function had been previously spotted last year, it is finally rolling out to select beta testers. Additionally, WhatsApp is testing a chatbot that will offer in-app announcements for new features.

Deleting Group Chat Messages For Everyone

WABetainfo reports that WhatsApp beta version 2.22.17.12 for Android is being released to select beta testers. The latest update allows admins to delete messages for everyone in group chats.

A group admin will be able to view the option “delete for everyone.” When selected, admins will be able to delete the message. Additionally, other participants in the group will be able to view who has deleted the text.

Currently, this feature is available to select beta testers. The report states that we can expect a wider rollout over the coming weeks.

WhatsApp Chatbot For In-App Announcements

As spotted by WABetaInfo, WhatsApp is developing a chatbot that will deliver in-app notifications about new features coming to the applications. These announcements will also offer you tips and tricks for WhatsApp, as well as updated policies concerning privacy and security.

The report adds that you will not be able to reply to the chat as it is read-only. Furthermore, it is end-to-end encrypted, ensuring that they will not be intercepted by third parties. You will also get the option to block the chat if you do not wish to get messages from WhatsApp.
