This feature has been added to Android, iOS, and the Web version, and messages can be deleted from individual or group chats but there are a few limitations. When you “unsent” or “delete a message” the recipient will show a post that says “this message was deleted” in the place of the originally sent message. This means that the recipient will know that a message was deleted but they will not know the contents of it. This works for text messages and multimedia messages such as photos, videos, and Voice Messages.
The process to unsent a message on WhatsApp is very easy and you simply have to push and hold down on the conversation and select the trash icon to the top on the menu.
You will now be presented with three options, delete for me, Delete for Everyone, and Cancel. Select the Delete for Everyone option to recall the message. After tapping on that option, the message will disappear on the device of the recipient as well as your phone.

If the message was still in the notification of the receiver’s phone, then the notification will update itself to show that the message has been deleted. By tapping on the Delete for me option the user will be able to only delete the message from the sender phone and this will not have any effect on the receiver. You can also unsent or recall multiple messages at a time when this feature was first launched there was a limit of 7 minutes until which the message could be deleted, this time limit has then been increased to more than an hour now.
Select the Delete for Everyone option to recall the message.Also Read: How To Go Live On Facebook Using Your Android Smartphone or PC
For this feature to work, it is recommended that both, the sender and the receiver have the latest version of Android downloaded on their devices. Recipients may also see your message before it is deleting or if the deletion was not successful, you will be notified if the deleting for everyone was unsuccessful.

How to delete if you have an old version
Is it possible to delete a Whatsapp message before it is read - this is the first option that we tried to implement. First you need to make sure that the message has only been sent, but not yet delivered to the person, that is, it is unread and stored on the server.
So it can be cancelled. Opposite the sent message you will see one tick. You just have to click on it (a menu will appear on top). Then you have to click on the trash icon. nine0003
Done! But as it turned out later, this is almost impossible to do on modern smartphones, since the phone is constantly connected to the Internet and the second checkmark appears instantly. If you have a push-button phone - it should work!
How to delete a message in WhatsApp so that the interlocutor does not read it
Also, people are interested in how to delete a sent message in Whatsapp if it has already reached the interlocutor. That is, two checkmarks appeared (if they are also highlighted in blue, then your friend has already received and read it). The answer is the first way, but if you have an up-to-date version. The important point is that even if your friend did not have the Internet at that moment, he will receive a letter in the chat later, as soon as a connection appears with him.
