- Google messages are preparing to add new Deleting Opportunities for RCS Chatter.
- You will soon have an alternative to deleting RCS Chats for yourself or for everyone, including you and the recipient.
- Google messages will apparently notify the recipients when a sender deletes or tries to delete a message.
Google messages let you delete soon Rcs cats For everyone. Code Found in Google Messages App version 20250131_02_RC00 shows how Google plans to implement these new features in accordance with RCS Universal Profile V2.7which was announced in June 2024.
Ease APK Demolition Helps predict features that may come to a service in the future based on work code. However, it is possible that such predicted functions may not come to a public release.
At the moment it removes deleting an RCS chat only it from your device, while the recipient can still see the message. With the upcoming update, you will be able to delete RCS chat for everyone, just like on WhatsApp.
We have found code evidence in Google messages that clearly show that users will soon see “Delete for All” and “Delete for Me” options to remove sent RCS texts.
Interestingly, it seems that Google messages are alerting recipients when a sender is deleting or trying to delete a message, which may be a contradiction for users who prefer more judgment. Below is the text we found in the code using our contributor to Debug.
Code
Message deleted by its author
You deleted a message
Sender attempted to delete a message
Delete for everyone
Messages may still be seen by others on older app versions
Delete for meIt is unclear when Google wants to roll out these deletion options for RCS chats, but we bet that it will happen soon now that the work has already been done.
