This should essentially come inhandy if you make a mistake by sending the wrong message to the wrong recipient.This shouldn’t be new though. BBM stillhas the featureon board. However, BBM terms it asretract. Gmail also hasthe unsend featureon board and that’s been in existence for over a year now.How WhatsApp Unsend Feature Works?I am guessing WhatsApp’s Unsend feature will work in same format as BBM retract. The image shared by WaBetaInfo sorta proves that. However, WhatsApp terms the unsend feature asRevoke.Simply tapping and holding a message displays options including the revoke option. When a message is revoked, the message is not only removed from the sender’s screen, but from also that of the recipient.
It’s not yet clear as to when this feature will be officially made available. However, it’d be available on iOS first and I can’t wait to give it a shot.
