A new WhatsApp feature for group admins will allow performing their roles as moderators in the conversation. In this way, they will be able to delete any message from the chat so that other users do not read it. Always leaving a warning that the moderator has deleted the message.

WhatsApp groups subscribe to excessive conversation; at the risk that the speech in question would cross the logical limits of respect., something very common in group conversations. This is where the role of the group admin comes into play, as he has to act as a moderator. He can’t do anything but threaten to be kicked out of the group, unless he manages to be truly moderate on WhatsApp. At least until now, of course.

Admins will have free bar to delete messages

Messaging apps have gradually changed their functionality, becoming the epitome of communication tools. WhatsApp hasn’t been as innovative as Telegram, but it didn’t need it either: having the support of the user community is more than enough. And just moving towards that, a community.

Communities are official, although they are not yet available in mobile apps (web or desktop). Since these talk groups Moderators are needed to maintain relevance of all postsWhatsApp gives this role to group admins. This has been verified by WaBetaInfo.

Admins will be able to delete messages for all users, something that was not possible until now (they can be deleted only for those who read the conversation, not from the chat). Of course, the deletion will not be invisible: there will be a message notification deleted by admin. These messages will continue to be used by those who use apps to recover deleted messages.

The novelty works for some group admins with WhatsApp Beta installed on Android. Gradually, it will be expanded to more users of said beta, also on iPhone. Y will land on stable WhatsApp when its work is fully verified. Perhaps it will come with future landing on the community app.
