WhatsApp has become the standard form of communication for many of us in this modern, digital age. Millions of smartphone users around the world now opt for WhatsApp over regular text messaging, as it is a quick and easy way of communicating with other users without cost.
The app boasts over 2bn users every month, according to market and consumer data company Statista – this is more than twice the amount of Facebook Messenger users. Since its launch, WhatsApp has been updated to allow a whole host of features.
One such feature was the ‘Delete’ function, which was added in 2017 to allow users to delete messages – including media such as photos and videos – from their conversations. Messages can also be deleted from group conversations.
