WhatsApp has become such a staple in our daily lives that we can’t imagine our time without it. The instant messaging app is packed with features that most users don’t even use! WhatsApp listened to its users’ calls and introduced a feature that lets you delete a message even after you’ve sent it! In this article, we’ll discuss what exactly happens when you delete a message on WhatsApp.
How to delete WhatsApp messages for everyone after a long time – up to a week old
WhatsApp users have been asking for an option to delete sent messages for a while now. WhatsApp heard their prayers and introduced the feature in 2017. However, the feature initially only allowed you to delete a message a few minutes after you sent it.
WhatsApp has updated that setting to let you delete messages at any time. The Delete Message feature also lets you delete media you’ve sent in the chat. The feature can also be used in group chats to delete messages.
You can see the status of your message by the checkmarks that appear next to it. If a user hasn’t seen your message yet, the checkmarks will remain large. Once the message has been seen, it will turn blue. When you delete a message in a chat, the options you receive depend on how old the message is.
