Earlier you had only 16 minutes to delete your unwanted messages on WhatsApp and then the time increased to 1 hour 8 minutes. But today WhatsApp announced that now you have 2 days to delete the message. In a very short period of time, Meta has now also noticed this and therefore gives users significantly more time.
💠Rethinking your message? Now you’ll have a little over 2 days to delete your messages from your chats after you hit send.

I would have thought that the time span would be extended to 12 or 24 hours, but there are actually 2 full days. Strictly speaking, it’s even more, because you have 60 hours, the “little bit more” is 12 more hours.
That should now be more than enough time once you’ve sent a message to someone you want to delete. I always found an hour a bit short, that should be enough for everyone who needs this function from time to time.
