Google Messages Introduces 'Delete for Everyone': The Game-Changer in Group Chats

Summary of Google Messages Update

Key Feature:

• Delete for Everyone: Google Messages is rolling out a new feature that allows users to delete messages in group RCS conversations for all participants. This function provides two options: 'Delete for everyone' and 'Delete for me.' The latter option retains the existing behavior, while 'Delete for everyone' truly removes a message from all recipients.

Additional Details:

• Compatibility: Messages may still be visible to users on older app versions.
• Universal Profile 2.7: This update also includes features like editing, recalling, and deleting messages for both the sender and recipient.
• Availability: The 'Delete for everyone' option is currently appearing only in larger group conversations (e.g., a group of 12 people) and not in smaller chats or one-to-one conversations.
• Other Features: Google is working on additional group chat features, including joining via invite links and QR codes, as well as @-mentions.
