How do I delete emojis from WhatsApp - in detail?

Deleting emojis from WhatsApp can be a bit tricky, as the app does not provide a direct option to remove them from messages. However, there are a few methods you can use to achieve this. Here is a detailed guide on how to delete emojis from WhatsApp:

1. Delete Emoji Stickers:

   • Open WhatsApp and go to the chat where you want to delete an emoji sticker.
   • Long press on the emoji sticker you wish to remove.
   • A menu will appear with options such as "Forward," "Reply," etc. Tap on the trash can icon to delete the emoji sticker.

2. Edit Messages:

   • WhatsApp allows users to edit messages within a short time frame after sending them. To use this feature, follow these steps:
     • Open WhatsApp and go to the chat where you sent the message with emojis.
     • Long press on the message with emojis until the options menu appears.
     • Tap on "Edit" if it is available (this option is only available for a short period after sending the message).
     • Remove the emojis from the message and tap "Send."

3. Delete and Resend Messages:

   • If you cannot edit the message directly, another approach is to delete the entire message and resend it without emojis:
     • Open WhatsApp and go to the chat where you sent the message with emojis.
     • Long press on the message until the options menu appears.
     • Tap on "Delete" for everyone or just for yourself, depending on your preference.
     • Resend the message without including any emojis.

4. Use Third-Party Apps:

   • There are third-party applications available that can help you edit messages more extensively:
     • Install a message editing app from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store (e.g., "WhatsApp Message Editor").
     • Open the app and select WhatsApp as your messaging platform.
     • Choose the chat and message where you want to remove emojis.
     • Edit the message by removing the emojis and then send it back through the third-party app.

5. Backup and Restore:

   • In some cases, if none of the above methods work, you might need to backup your chats and restore them without the unwanted messages:
     • Go to WhatsApp Settings > Chats > Chat Backup.
     • Back up your chats to Google Drive or iCloud.
     • Uninstall and reinstall WhatsApp.
     • Restore your chats from the backup, ensuring that the messages with emojis are not included in the restore process.

By following these detailed steps, you should be able to delete emojis from WhatsApp effectively.
