This function becomes completely useless.

Date:

She advertised herself for a long period of time before Message auto-delete function entered WhatsApp. In the meantime, you can choose between different times, how long you want your message to be displayed, and Group admins can even remove foreign texts.

With the feature update, WhatsApp should integrate the ability into Messenger for users to long-press on a message that is being deleted.
