About This Feature

Overview

Message Recall Settings lets enterprise admins manage message recall rules in the admin console. It helps control how long members can recall sent messages and whether group owners and group admins can recall any message in a group chat.

Core tasks include:

Open the chat message settings page and review message management options.
Set the member message recall time limit to 2 minutes, 10 minutes, 1 hour, or 24 hours.
Turn on or off the option that allows group owners and group admins to recall any message in a group chat without a time limit.

This feature is useful for enterprise collaboration management, group moderation, and message governance.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Admins can set a member recall time limit and allow group owners and group admins to recall any message in a group chat.	Teams messaging policies let admins control whether users can delete sent messages and whether owners can delete messages sent by users.	Google Chat admins can set auto-deletion periods for 1:1 messages, group messages, and space messages, with a focus on retention and deletion policy.	Notion provides enterprise data retention settings for deleted pages and AI chats, but it does not provide a native group chat message recall settings page.	Adobe Acrobat provides admin settings for its Microsoft Teams integration, but not native chat message recall rules.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS combines a selectable recall time limit with a group-level any-message recall permission in one admin setting area.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft focuses on policy switches for deletion permissions rather than selectable recall windows such as 2 minutes, 10 minutes, 1 hour, or 24 hours on the same page.	Compared with WPS: Google focuses more on automatic deletion and retention periods than immediate recall permission controls.	Compared with WPS: Notion offers retention management for deleted content rather than group chat recall settings.	Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on PDF integration administration in Teams rather than native chat recall management.

Overall Conclusion
WPS is more directly aligned with immediate message recall management in enterprise chat. It gives admins control over both member recall time limits and elevated recall permissions for group management roles, while the compared products focus more on deletion policies, retention controls, or integration management.
