WhatsApp is bringing some restrictions to your group chats, hints new beta

WhatsApp looks set to make a number of changes to group conversations as part of a future update to its app.

The hugely-successful messenger, which is owned by Facebook, has rolled-out a number of changes as part of its latest beta.

Those enrolled in the Google Play Beta Programme have already spotted some of the tweaks, which hand more responsibility to administrators in group chats.

Following the update, administrators will be able to decide exactly who can modify the subject of the group, its icon and its description.

At the moment, anyone added to a group conversation has the ability to modify the icon and title.

WhatsApp will also introduce a feature that prevents the group creator from being deleted from his or her own group by other administrators.

This is possible in the current stable version of WhatsApp.

Although the code for these improved group management features are included in the latest beta, WhatsApp has currently disabled the functionality.

The new functionality is likely to become available to users at a later date.

These changes are the latest in a long list of upcoming features scheduled for the hugely-popular chat app.

WhatsApp is tipped to introduce the ability to .

Dubbed Delete for Everyone, the feature is currently being tested on a small number of users.

The new feature, which is coming to iOS and Android, will be a huge boost for anyone who has ever sent a text message and immediately regretted it.

, with Express.co.uk first reporting on the existence back in February 2017.

Following the launch, users will be able to press-and-hold on sent messages within a chat to see two new options: Edit and Revoke.

Edit will let you change the content of the message, while Revoke lets you pull the text from the conversation – as if it never existed.

Unfortunately, the ability to revoke your message will only work when the recipient hasn’t seen the text.

WhatsApp users can delete messages in the current version of the app.

However, this merely deletes the text from the sender’s own device, with the deleted messages remaining visible to the recipient or recipients.

With more than 1.2 billion monthly active users, WhatsApp is the most popular messaging app in the world.

It is used in more than 50 different languages around the world.
