Earlier, this limit was restricted to close to 68 minutes. Apple is also set to introduce a similar feature in iMessage. However, while WhatsApp has increased the delete message limit, Apple — in the beta versions of iOS 16 — started with 15 minutes limit but now has reduced it to two minutes. It will be interesting to see how the feature is implemented when iOS 16 is rolled out to all users later this year.
