The tweet read, "If you are a group admin, you will be able to delete any message for everyone in your groups, in a future update of WhatsApp beta for Android. A good moderation, finally. WhatsApp."The new feature will give group admins the option to delete anyone's message without asking them. This update will render more control in group chats weeding out any inappropriate texts.
