WhatsApp For Web Could Get A Revoke Feature As Well

Last year it was revealed that WhatsApp could be getting a new feature in the form of “revoke”. For those unfamiliar with the feature, basically it allows users to take back messages and delete them. As it stands, deleting a message now only deletes in on your end, but revoking would remove it from both sides.

Now according to a tweet by @WABetaInfo, it seems that WhatsApp could also be considering bringing the feature onto the web version of the chat client. Basically this means that users on mobile and web will be able to get the same features at the same time, although we guess it shouldn’t be surprising given that the web/desktop client is more or less in line with the mobile version.

However the web version did reveal some additional details. According to the information, the revoke feature will work on messages that are sent in the last 5 minutes, meaning that you won’t be able to revoke older messages. However it has been noted that while the feature for the web was discovered, it has been disabled for now so don’t expect to use it just yet.

We’re not sure what’s with the hold up on the rollout of the feature, but we reckon it probably won’t be too long until it has been made available but we’ll keep our eyes peeled anyway.
