In addition to this, users can then also decide for themselves who can see whether they are &#8220;online&#8221; or not. The display can also be completely deactivated if desired. So far this has not been possible.<\/p>\n<h3>Deleting sent messages is significantly improved<\/h3>\n<p>The developers have just improved another popular feature of the messenger. Messages that have already been sent could previously only be deleted in a little over an hour, but users now have significantly more time. This extends the deletion period from 1 hour and 8 minutes to 2 days and 12 hours. WhatsApp announced this via the official Twitter account.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud83d\udcad Rethinking your message?
