You could soon be able to delete a WhatsApp text
WhatsApp is testing a few features on Android (possibly on other platforms too) to let you cancel a text that hasn't been received yet, share your real-time location with chat friends and even a Snapchat-like disappearing post.
According to beta testers a new Revoke option will let you cancel the sending of a message if it hasn't been received or has been delivered but the other person hasn't looked at it yet.
WhatsApp features in testing
The other feature in testing is real-time location sharing. We've already reported on it a few days ago. If enabled you'll be able to share your location with trusted people for 1, 2, 5 minutes or indefinitely. This will also work in group chats.
Finally WhatsApp is in testing of a feature similar to Snapchat's Stories. You could add a photo with a caption or a doodle and it will disappear in 24 hours.
It remains to be seen if any of these new features will make their way to WhatsApp.

It is must for people like me who have a WhatsApp based business. This will stop people from posting in appropriate stuff in the group.

yeah I get that, just in general though most of whatsapp's updates have been used to make changes that compare with snapchat, but yeah wish snapchat had this too tbh
