How to make sent messages disappear on WhatsApp
After the new ‘Delete for Everyone’ feature is introduced, users will not only be able to delete a sent message from their phone, but the message will also be deleted from the phone of the person receiving the message. Apart from ‘Delete for Everyone’, users will also be able to see the ‘Delete for Me’ option. This option is for those who want to delete the message only from their phone. “This message was deleted” will be written in place of the deleted message.
The new feature will work within 7 minutes of sending the message. After this, it will not be possible to delete the message. For this, the delete symbol has to be used.
How to delete a message on WhatsApp
1. First go to a chat

You can also select and delete multiple messages at once. The new feature will work with photos, videos, GIFs, voice messages, contacts, files, locations, quoted messages and status replies on WhatsApp. This feature works with all types of messages. For WhatsApp’s new ‘Delete for Everyone’ feature, the sender and receiver of the message must have the latest version of the Android, iPhone or Windows Phone app. If this is not the case, this feature will not be supported.
