While iMessage is getting the option to “unsend” messages for the first time with iOS 16 beta, WhatsApp already provides a similar feature. However, the Meta (Facebook)-owned messaging app is now releasing an update that will let users delete messages up to two days after they were sent.
Deleting sent messages on WhatsApp
The change in the option to delete sent messages was announced by WhatsApp itself on its Twitter profile. According to the company, users will now have two days to decide to unsend a message in a private or group chat.
More specifically, WhatsApp users will have two days and 12 hours to delete a message after sending it. Previously, this limit was only one hour, eight minutes, and 16 seconds – that was specific. In order to delete a message sent in WhatsApp, all you need to do is tap and hold on it for a few seconds, then tap the “Delete” button.
Interestingly, while WhatsApp is increasing the time users have to delete a message, Apple is going in the opposite direction with iMessage.
In the first beta versions of iOS 16, users had 15 minutes to unsend a message. Now with the latest betas, this limit has been reduced to only two minutes.
The feature has been quite controversial as some users believe that options to edit and unsend messages can be used for malicious purposes. This also led Apple to add a change history for edited messages in iMessage. Meanwhile, the popular WhatsApp and iMessage competitor Telegram lets users edit and delete messages without any limits.
💭 Rethinking your message? Now you’ll have a little over 2 days to delete your messages from your chats after you hit send.

As noted by MacMagazine, WhatsApp has also been working on a feature to let group admins delete messages from any users. However, this feature is still only available for beta users at this point. More recently, WhatsApp has released an official migration tool from Android to iOS and vice versa, as well as a new beta app for macOS users.
WhatsApp is available for free on the App Store. It requires an iPhone running iOS 12 or later.

MOSCOW, October 28 - RIA Novosti . The functionality of the WhatsApp messenger only allows 68 minutes to delete the sent message. However, this can still be done after the specified time has elapsed - for this you will have to change the date and time on the phone, Pavel Myasoedov, partner and director of the Intellectual Reserve company, told the Prime agency.
"You must first set your smartphone to airplane mode so that the device cannot receive new messages. Then you should set the date and time that is closest to the time when the message was sent (the difference should be no more than the set 68 minutes). After that, you can delete message in the messenger and return the settings and the current date," the expert says.
There are two ways to read a deleted message. The first is to use third-party applications, but then there is a risk that all your correspondence will be available to attackers.
The second way is to use the synchronization function, however, it is only in the Android system, says Myasoedov.
"If your phone is backing up and didn't have time to save new correspondence, it may show deleted messages. You need to be careful, because the texts that you deleted yourself will appear on the device," he warns.
But if you made a mistake and deleted the message only on your device, everyone will not be able to delete it. In this case, control over messages will be lost, and only special programs that will have to be installed separately can help, the expert concluded.

How to delete a WhatsApp message after sending and even after 68 minutes
You can bypass the 68 minute limit and delete any message much later.
We will explain how the new WhatsApp feature works and show a life hack that makes it easy to manage the chats of the application.
68 minutes is not the limit. Delete messages at any time - we'll show you how to bypass WhatsApp rules. Hurry before the developers fix this vulnerability.
How to delete a WhatsApp message after sending
Recent app updates have made it possible to delete messages sent to WhatsApp chat. And it does not depend on whether they were read or not.
- Once you've sent a message, you have 68 minutes to delete it. When this time passes, there will be no going back.
- To delete a message, hold it down until the message management menu appears. Click on the urn icon which indicates the delete option.
- If 68 minutes has not yet passed, select "Delete for all". Later, only the "Delete for me" function will be visible, which will only delete the message from your chat, but not from the chat of the interlocutor.
- Instead of a message in the chat, the notification "This message has been deleted" will remain. The recipient will also see this notification, regardless of whether they have read the deleted message or not.
- In group chats, deleting works the same way.
By the way, if your interlocutor is offline, you cannot be sure that he did not read the message. Your friend might have seen it on their smartphone's lock screen.
