Yes
I doubt that will happen as what's app is very into private and secure messages being sent, as if they were to implement this feature it would be against others privacy as you would erase messages on other members phones...
 Once a message is sent it's securely sent and no tampering with it, that way you know it is safe... at least this is how I look at it.

And Snapchat is built around that feature. But neither of those are Whatsapp.

You shouldn't call Whatsapp "broken" because it doesn't have another companies services / features.
