WhatsApp update: In a major development, the Meta-owned messaging application WhatsApp is planning to update the time limit to delete messages for everyone. This update will be officially released for some beta users. 

According to WABetaInfo, a website that tracks the latest updates on WhatsApp, revealed that messaging application is rolling out a different time limit for the “delete for everyone” option: 2 days and 12 hours. "WhatsApp beta for Android 2.22.15.8: what's new? WhatsApp is updating the time limit to delete messages for everyone, for some beta testers," the WABetainfo wrote on Twitter. 

As per the report, the previous limit was 1 hour, 8 minutes, and 16 seconds. Now, the new time limit is really 2 days and 12 hours, the same one that was planned during the development of the feature. Please note that WhatsApp is also working on another improvement for the delete for everyone feature: the ability to delete any message in groups if you’re a group admin, in the future. 

There will be another update that enables this feature at a later date. WhatsApp is now gradually rolling out the new time limit to some beta testers, and more activations are planned over the coming weeks.

In related news, WhatsApp is likely working on a new feature that will allow users to put in an appeal in case their account has been blocked due to any reason. 

WhatsApp deletes or suspends accounts in bulk every day for users who do not comply with the terms and conditions of the platform. Now, according to a new report from WABetaInfo, a website that track WhatsApp, revealed that WhatsApp beta will soon get a new feature that will let Android, iOS users appeal to revoke the ban.
