'Delete for everyone' appears in the Google Messages beta
'Delete for everyone' appears in the Google Messages beta

If you sent something you regret in a Google Messages RCS group chat, it looks like you'll soon be able to delete it for everyone, not just yourself. On Thursday, a Reddit user posted (via 9to5Google) a screenshot of the option in a public beta for Android's messaging app.
The image from u/seeareeff shows a pop-up menu asking if they want to "Delete for everyone" or "Delete for me." Until now, the latter has been the app's only deletion option.
The delete for everyone feature aligns with the RCS's Universal Profile v2.7. The GSMA finalized that update in June 2024, but it takes time for RCS-enabled apps like Google's to implement it. In February, a Messages app teardown from 9to5Google showed the change was in the pipeline for Android users.
There are some caveats. First, not everyone using the public beta has seen the option. In addition, the Reddit user who spotted it only saw it in a group chat with 12 people; it wasn't yet in their one-on-one threads. Finally, 9to5Google's app sleuthing from February revealed a limitation you'll want to remember: Deleted messages "may still be seen by others on older app versions."This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/mobile/smartphones/delete-for-everyone-appears-in-the-google-messages-beta-161920211.html?src=rss
