We cannot deny that WhatsApp has become the instant messaging service of choice for the general public to communicate with family or friends through mobile devices. In addition, not only with text, but with voice notes, which frees you from having to look at the screen at all times.

As you well know, since the end of last year, the service that Facebook currently runs, allowed its users to delete published messages. Of course, you can not take too long since the limit you have to make text lines or voice messages disappear is 7 minutes. For many of us this is insufficient. And it seems that WhatsApp has wanted to extend this figure, no longer by double, but for much longer.

whatsapp improves version for Android

As echoed in WABetainfoIn the latest version that the popular service has included in Google Play - that is, only for Android at the moment - a substantial improvement is included in this regard. Of the 7 minutes currently available, the user would have 4.096 seconds, which translates to 68 minutes and 16 seconds; that is to say: more than one hour available to erase all traces of that message that can lead to misunderstandings between the contacts.

On the other hand, Android will be the first platform to receive it, but it is advised that iOS will receive it soon. The version of WhatsApp for Android is the one that carries by numbering 2.18.69. Also, the problem with sending GIFs in the previous version is solved, while new ones are also added stickers and emoticons are improved.

On the other hand, a few hours ago we explained that WhatsApp now it would notify your contacts that you have forwarded some of their messages with other people. So, as my partner Ignacio commented, an option that will surely improve the relationship with our friends or family.
