WABetaInfo, in a tweet, stated as " when a user taps on 'Delete for Everyone' in a message, it will be deleted only if the recipient gets the revoke request within 1 day, 1 hour, 8 minutes, and 16 seconds. Earlier, the option was available for 1 day only, meaning users will get 68 minutes and 16 seconds more.
WhatsApp Business app for Android will now get new feature named Chat Filter that allows users to quickly search messages using the filters. Users have to tap on the Search option to access the filter icon. On tapping the filter icon, the options will appear - Unread chats, Groups, and Broadcast lists.
Chat Filter feature will come to WhatsApp Business app, and there are no reports about this being featured in the standard app.
WABetaInfo tweet :- WhatsApp will get another new feature that will give more power to WhatsApp group admins. WhatsApp is said to be adding another new feature for broadcasting messages. It is working on a solution to allow users to send broadcast messages to contacts that do not have the sender's number in their contacts list.
