Overview

• Google Messages is rolling out the 'Delete for everyone' feature, enabling users to fully remove sent texts for all participants in group chats.
• The feature relies on the RCS protocol, requiring all participants to have RCS enabled and the latest version of the Google Messages app.
• Currently, the functionality is limited to larger group chats and is not yet available for one-on-one conversations.
• The rollout is being controlled server-side, with only some users gaining access as of now, indicating a gradual deployment process.
• A 15-minute time window is expected to be enforced for message deletion, requiring users to act quickly to retract texts.
