WhatsApp Updated Delete For Everyone Feature

        WhatsApp has updated the time limit for Delete For Everyone

WhatsApp has updated its ‘Delete for Everyone’ feature, with respect to the time limit in which users can revoke messages. The new update gives users a time of up to 13 hours, 8 minutes and 16 seconds to delete the message.

 According to WABetaInfo reports, the Facebook-owned company has updated the ‘Recipient limit’ to restrict deletion of a message if the recipient didn’t receive its revoke request within 13 hours, eight minutes, and 16 seconds due to any reason, even if the phone was inactive.

What does it mean? If you delete a message for everyone, but the recipient won't receive the revoke request within 13h, 8m, 16s (maybe because the phone was off), the message will not be revoked.

This is a protection against modded users that revoked messages sent weeks, months and years ago without limitations. You can still delete a message for everyone within 1h, 8m, 16s as long as the recipient will receive your revoke request within 13h, 8m, 16s.

The source suggests that the code for this has been added already in WhatsApp beta for Android, but it has not been enabled yet. The other feature that is being worked upon is stickers support, and the source suggests that it is slated to be added this year itself.
