Did you send a message on WhatsApp and are now regretting having sent it after a day? It isn't too late. Now, you can delete a message after two days.

The instant messaging platform has announced a feature wherein the users can delete a message within two days after sending it. “Rethinking your message? Now you’ll have a little over 2 days to delete your messages from your chats after you hit send,” the messaging app tweeted.

The move comes as a breather for millions of users who want a particular message to be deleted after it might have been sent to someone by mistake. WhatsApp has been introducing new features from time to time for the users.

WhatsApp has partnered with cab service provided Uber to allow users to book their cabs via a chatbot in the Delhi-NCR region. The chatbot named WhatsApp to Ride (WA2R) has been built on its messaging platform and the users can use its multilingual capabilities.
