To delete a message in a WhatsApp group on an iPhone, follow these detailed steps:
- Open WhatsApp: First, ensure you have the latest version of WhatsApp installed on your iPhone. Open the application to proceed with the deletion process.
- Access the Group Chat: Navigate to the specific group chat where the message you want to delete is located. Tap on the chat to open it.
- Select the Message: Find the message you wish to delete within the chat. Long press on the message until a menu appears at the bottom of the screen. This will allow you to select multiple messages if needed.
- Delete the Message(s): Once the message is selected, tap on the "Delete" option from the menu that appeared at the bottom of the screen. You will be prompted with two choices: "Delete for Me" and "Cancel". Tapping "Delete for Me" will remove the message from your device only. However, if you want to delete the message for everyone in the group, there is an additional step.
- Delete for Everyone (Optional): To delete the message for all participants in the group, you must do so within 1 hour, 8 minutes, and 16 seconds after sending it. If this time frame has passed, you will not see the "Delete for Everyone" option. If the message is still eligible for deletion, tap on "Delete for Everyone". Confirm your action when prompted, and the message will be removed from all devices in the group chat.
- Confirmation: After selecting "Delete for Everyone", you will see a notification stating that the message was deleted. This confirmation ensures that the message is no longer visible to any participants in the group chat.
