How Do You Permanently Delete WhatsApp Messages?

When it comes to privacy and security, WhatsApp is one of the most secure messaging services available. It offers end-to-end encryption, meaning that all messages sent through the platform are encrypted and can only be decrypted by the sender and receiver.

However, this doesn’t mean that you can’t delete a message from a chat after you’ve sent it. In fact, WhatsApp allows you to permanently delete messages from both individual and group chats.

To permanently delete a message on WhatsApp, open the chat containing the message you want to erase. Long press the message until a menu appears with options for copying, forwarding, deleting and more.

Tap Delete, then select Delete for Everyone. This will remove the message from the chat history for everyone in the conversation.

It’s important to note that messages can only be deleted within seven minutes of sending them. After seven minutes have passed, they cannot be removed from the conversation history. Additionally, if someone has already seen or read your message before you delete it, they will still be able to see it in their notifications.

It’s also possible to delete multiple messages at once on WhatsApp. To do so, open a chat and tap the three-dot icon in the top right corner of your screen. Select More, then Delete.

You can now select which messages you’d like to delete by tapping on them individually or tapping on Select All. Once you have selected all of the messages you’d like to delete, tap Delete. This will remove all selected messages from the conversation history for everyone involved.

Conclusion: Permanently deleting WhatsApp messages is simple and straightforward. Just open up a chat containing the message(s) you want to erase and tap Delete > Delete for Everyone.

This will remove those messages from your conversation history within seven minutes of sending them. You can also select multiple messages at once and delete them all in one go by tapping More > Delete > Select All > Delete.
