Google Messages has introduced a new feature that allows Android users to delete messages for everyone within a 15-minute window. This feature, called "Delete for everyone," is currently being tested in the latest beta version of the app. Users can now long press on a message and choose between "Delete for everyone" or "Delete for me." When the former option is selected, the text is replaced with a "Message deleted" label that is visible to all participants in the chat. This feature was first revealed back in March and is dependent on RCS Universal Profile 2.7 for it to work properly. It is currently being rolled out to a small group of beta users to ensure its functionality before a wider release.
It is important to note that for the "Delete for everyone" feature to work, all participants in the chat need to have an updated version of Google Messages with support for RCS Universal Profile 2.7. If any participant does not have the necessary version, the delete request will not be successful. This new feature provides users with more control over their messages and the ability to retract messages that were sent in error.
