Whatsapp has FINALLY given us the feature we’ve all been longing for

But there's something you need to know...

Louise Carroll

Although some of us may have a long destroyed reputation already, there’s likely a few of us left who can definitely benefit from this.

A few months back WhatsApp announced they were planning to develop a feature allowing us to “unsend” messages, and now it’s finally here!

But wait, there are a few things you should know.

1. You need to have the most up-to-date Whatsapp installed on your iOS or Android devices.

2. You have under SEVEN minutes to delete that horrific ‘sent’ message – under SEVEN MINUTES everyone.

3. To delete it, tap and hold on the message(s), hit the bin icon above and select ‘Delete for Everyone’.

4. HOWEVER… Everyone in the chat or group conversation will see that “This message was deleted” and shall be notified immediately of your MAJOR boo-boo.

Safe to say, the new feature won’t cover us completely, but we suppose it’s better than having to explain our drunken mishaps to an ex, your delivery man or… your boss. Happy Whatsapping everyone.
