One new function was launched in the messaging application most used by Brazilians, the Whatsapp. The tool, although useful in certain aspects, can disturb users who are used to exchanging many messages in conversations with other contacts in the messenger.
According to the specialized site WABetaInfo, the novelty, which is still in the testing phase, will bring a significant change in the way people exchange messages. This is because the functionality allows a user to delete messages sent months ago within the app.

Unlike what happened in 2017, when the option to delete messages sent on WhatsApp was released, or in 2018, when the 1 hour and 8 minutes for the person to decide between keeping a message or deleting it from a chat, the recent creation allows an even longer period for this function.
Taking this process a step further, Mark Zuckerberg's company has been testing to further expand this time limit for deleting a message.
In practice, the new service can get in the way of those who tend to send a lot of messages via WhatsApp. This is because the option to delete messages from months ago harms those who need to return to a longer chat. old to find a specific text, for example, but it is no longer there because the contact deleted.
The search for an older message is usually done to verify something or prove that something was actually said by someone else.
However, as it is a resource in the initial testing phase, its official availability to the general public should still take some time to happen. Depending on the results, it is possible that the functionality will be restricted to WhatsApp Beta users only.
