We've all been there, sending a message to someone only to be plagued by regret the moment it is sent. Now, there is good news for all the drunk and angry texters out there. Popular messaging app WhatsApp will soon allow senders to retract messages after they have been sent, according to reports.
The down side is that the feature will only work if the person has not yet seen the message. If there is a blue tick next to your message, you might have to start drafting an apology message to accompany it.
According to the Mirror UK, the option to delete and even edit messages is currently in its testing stage and will be available in a future update, however, no date has been announced as yet.
WhatsApp was bought by Facebook for $22 billion in 2014. Last year, the messaging app announced that it would able users to video call each other. This feature has made the platform, where it will be competing against the likes of Apple's FaceTime, which is only available to iPhone users, Viber, and Microsoft's Skype.
Earlier this year, a hoax saying that WhatsApp would be announcing a feature that allows people to be notified when someone screenshots their conversation. The story was debanked by several tech platforms such as Asian One Digital who pointed out that the website from which people got the story from is a satirical platform called 8shit.
