The Facebook-owned instant messaging giant, WhatsApp has been making quick iterations to its application this year. One of the most notable features which were introduced on the platform this year was the delete for everyone option, which allowed senders to delete their sent messages similarly to the unsend option in Instagram. However, there was a time limit set upon for deletion which was 7 minutes initially. In the following update, the time limit for the same was increased to one hour, eight minutes and sixteen seconds. Now WhatsApp has seemingly brought a new update which further restricts deletion from the sender’s side.

After having a tussle with WhatsApp founder Jan Koum, Facebook seems to be integrating the platform fully into the Facebook ecosystem which consists of other applications like Facebook and Instagram. However, this new update about the “recipient limit” has been brought to fruition to limit the deletion of messages by senders who were possibly misusing the functionality.
New Recipient Limit
As per a report by WABetaInfo, WhatsApp has updated the “Recipient Limit” for deletion of a message from the recipient’s chat. Meaning that now, the recipient of the message must get the revoke request within 13 hours, eight minutes, and 16 seconds for the message deletion to go through. In case the recipient does not get the revoke request whatever the reason may be, then the message would not be deleted.
