How to delete a photo in WhatsApp for everyone if time has passed - briefly?
If you've sent a photo on WhatsApp and want to delete it for everyone after the standard one-hour, eight-minute, and sixteen-second window, unfortunately, this is not possible. WhatsApp does not offer an option to revoke messages or media files after the specified timeframe has passed.
How to delete a photo in WhatsApp for everyone if time has passed - in detail?
To delete a photo in WhatsApp for everyone after the time limit has expired, follow these detailed steps:
- Open WhatsApp: Launch the WhatsApp application on your mobile device.
- Navigate to the Chat: Go to the chat where you sent the photo you want to delete.
- Select the Photo: Long-press on the photo until it is selected. You will see options at the top of your screen.
- Delete for Everyone: Tap on the 'Delete' icon (a trash can or a bin). A pop-up menu will appear with two options: 'Delete for Me' and 'Delete for Everyone'. Choose 'Delete for Everyone'.
- Confirmation: You will see a confirmation message that says "This message has been deleted". This indicates that the photo has been successfully removed from both your device and the recipient's device.
Important Note: The 'Delete for Everyone' feature is only available within 1 hour, 8 minutes, and 16 seconds of sending a message. If more time has passed since you sent the photo, you will not see the 'Delete for Everyone' option, and the photo cannot be deleted from the recipient's device. In this case, you can only delete the photo from your own device by selecting 'Delete for Me'.
