WhatsApp is one of the most popular messaging platforms in the world. With over 200 million users, it has become a go-to communication tool for many.
One of the great features WhatsApp offers is the ability to delete messages for everyone after you have deleted them for yourself. This feature can be incredibly useful if you sent a message that was inappropriate or should not have been sent in the first place. But can you really delete WhatsApp messages for everyone after deleting them for yourself?
The answer is yes, you can delete messages that have already been sent on WhatsApp for everyone. However, there are several caveats to this. The most important one being that you must do it within seven minutes of sending the message; any longer and it will not be possible to delete it for everyone.
In order to use this feature, simply select the message you want to delete and tap on the “delete” icon. You will then be presented with two options – “delete for me” and “delete for everyone”. Selecting “delete for everyone” will remove the message from all devices it has been sent to.
It’s important to note, however, that even if you successfully delete a message for everyone, there are still some things that cannot be undone. For example, any quotes or screenshots taken of the message before it was deleted will remain visible. Additionally, if someone has already read your message before it was deleted, they may still remember what was said.
Overall, while deleting WhatsApp messages after they have been sent can help mitigate some potential embarrassment or awkwardness – users should always think twice before sending anything they may regret later on.
In conclusion, yes you can delete WhatsApp messages for everyone after deleting them for yourself – but only within seven minutes of sending them and with no guarantee of complete erasure from all devices.
