A new WhatsApp for iOS update (2.18.31) is available on AppStore.

The update was first noticed by WABetaInfo and the website tweeted their discovery.

This may be a welcome development for many users who mistakenly send messages to the wrong person as well as allows you to delete a message if you change your mind.

As such, users should be prepared for questions such as why did you delete the message? What message did you delete and so on?
