The update will allow group admins to delete any message for everyone, according to WABetInfo.
If you ever find yourself regretting a message you’ve sent on WhatsApp in a chat with one other, the messaging app already has a handy feature to save your bacon.
You can actually delete a sent messages for a limited time, even if it’s a group chat – allowing you to unsend a text that may get you in trouble.
WhatsApp is among the world’s most private messaging services, shielding your texts from snoopers using end-to-end encryption.
Also in the future update, the U.S. messaging app will show a list of everyone who has left a group chat.
It means anyone in the group can see all of the “past participants”, making it harder than ever to slip out of a WhatsApp group quietly.
The feature will also mean there’s a record of your participation in a group – even if you’d rather not be associated with it any longer.
The feature isn’t live yet, but was spotted in development on the WhatsApp beta by the sleuths at WABetaInfo.

WhatsApp is working on another new emoji feature – status reactions.
The surprise change comes just weeks after WhatsApp added emoji reactions.
These emoji message reactions allow you to use any icon to interact with a text.
But WhatsApp is now planning a similar feature for the WhatsApp Status too.
That’s the temporary Instagram Story-style posts that some people upload on WhatsApp.
