- WhatsApp. The 15 tricks you should know
WhatsApp does not want to leave a trace . Or rather, it wants to give you the option that your messages are not stored on the mobile of the person to whom you send it, which can be a major security improvement for certain people. And it is not the only news that is yet to come.
The popular app would work on two functions that improve the service for users: support for using the same account on multiple devices or messages that 'expire' in conversations.
There have been several times that WhatsApp has tested the feature of deleting messages in its preliminary versions, which are only accessible to developers and people who participate in the company's test programs, but it seems that its launch is closer than ever .
Self-deleting messages will be available in group and individual chats , although it appears that they will now be called 'expiring messages'. This way of calling them will be visible to group administrators, as pointed out by the WABetaInfo portal.
It is a function that the user will have to activate , and when it is, the icon of a clock will appear in the conversation image, visible both in the chat list and when clicking on a specific one. They will be removed after a day, a week or a month , as determined by the user.
Also, WhatsApp works on the introduction of support for various devices . This function will allow the same messaging service account to be used on different computers, such as a mobile and a tablet, at the same time.
As they explain from WABetaInfo, when the user adds his WhatsApp account on another device, a message will appear that will warn of a change in the encryption keys because he has logged on to different devices.
Both multi-device support and expiring messages are features in development , available in the beta version of the Android app, but not for the general public.
HOW TO DELETE WHATSAPP BY HAND?
Until the function of self-destructing messages in WhatsApp is fully operational for everyone, it is possible to manually delete our messages in WhatsApp groups and chats. To do this, we just need to follow these simple instructions.
The first thing we must do is select a message, audio or image that we have sent ourselves. To do this, we must make a long press on it.
Then the menu in the top bar will show different options. In one of them, we will see a trash can.
Clicking on that trash will open a new menu that will give us the options to delete the message. Either for everyone or just for us. At this point, we only have to choose the desired option and we will have managed to eliminate the message that we have sent by WhatsApp.
