It seems that updates and new features do not stop coming to WhatsApp. If a few days ago we informed you of the inclusion of a native GIF finder and a new update with 3 new featuresToday we have to talk about more news. As reported The Telegraph, the WhatsApp team is working on the possibility of offering the user the option of delete messages sent by mistake.

This addition would consist of the inclusion of a button «delete«Right next to the message. Of course this function would only be available in the case of the recipient has not yet read the message. No more cold sweats and regrets for messages sent in a impasse of passing madness!

Along with the button to delete the message, the possibility would also be added to edit the sent message, being able to make changes to the content of the message, as long as the recipient has not read the message. If the recipient is an active WhatsApp user, we may not have more than a few seconds, so we will have to be very fast if we want to make amends for our mistake in time.

Real-time localization: a second improvement pokes its nose

Another improvement that has been leaked on the British website is real-time localization. Until now WhatsApp offered the possibility of sharing our location through Google Maps. But it was just that, a point on the map. With this new update you can send a moving location and see the evolution of the route we are taking.

This new function is called Live Location Tracking, and can be used within a WhatsApp group, allowing us to share our location for a period of 1, 2 or 5 minutes. To avoid problems with privacy policies we will surely have to activate it by hand from the configuration settings. In any case, seems to be in a very advanced stage of development, so we could test this new functionality right now, in the next beta of the application. As soon as it is available, we will be here to inform you. Do not miss it!
