One of the functions that surely many of you have waited for a long time, is the possibility of deleting messages already sent through WhatsApp, because the one who has the most or the least, surely has sent a message that should not and subsequently he has repented.
The guys from Mark Zuckerberg have finally implemented this option, but limited in time, that is, we only have 7 minutes to eliminate them, something that is meaningless, since the Telegram, without going any further, we can eliminate them whenever we want without any limitation. In this article we are going to show you how we can delete messages already sent on WhatsApp, either on an Android device or on an iPhone.
First of all, we must know that this new function, which is finally available to all users, allows us not only to delete text, but we can also delete any type of file that we have previously shared, such as images, videos, emojis, contact cards, locations, GIFs ...
This new feature allows us to select from where we want to delete the messages, if we want them to be removed only from our chat or we want them to be removed from the view of all the people who have been able to receive it.
Delete sent WhatsApp messages on Android
- Once we have opened WhatsApp and we are in the conversation where we want to delete a message, we must press on her so that the options offered by the application appear.
- Second, we must click on the trash can.
- A message will then be displayed informing us if we want to delete them only from our terminal or from all terminals where it has been shown. We press the desired option and that's it.
Delete sent WhatsApp messages on iPhone
- We are in group chat or private conversation where the message we want to delete is located.
- Click on the message in question so that WhatsApp shows us the available options.
- We look for the Delete option and select, as happens in Android, if we want to delete it only from our view or everyone who is part of the chat, in the case of a group.
And remember. This function only available during the first 7 minutes. Once they have elapsed we can delete the messages sent only from our device, not from the other mobiles where it has been shown. In both cases, WhatsApp will show us a message instead, where it tells us that it has been deleted, in case it was not controversial enough to retract us by deleting a message that we have sent. Always making friends Mark. Keep it up.
