BREAKING: You can now delete unwanted message as Whatsaap introduces "Recall feature"

Many of us have at least one message we wish we had never sent.

But the days of worrying while you wait for the recipient to read the message could soon be a thing of the past.

Sources claim that WhatsApp is going to release a 'Recall' feature imminently, which will let users delete messages up to five minutes after they were sent.

Recall will work on all types of messages, including texts, images, videos, GIFs, documents, quoted messages and Status reply.

Users can delete these messages within five minutes of sending them, although if this time window is missed, the message will stay.

The feature, which is known as Recall, is included in the code for version 2.17.30 of the app, but Whatsapp has still to enable it.

The beta version tested in April also had other changes, including a new 'change number' feature, which allowed users to more easily recognise a contact if they've got a new number.

This feature could be released alongside Recall in an update soon.

WhatsApp has not officially confirmed the new feature.
