How to delete a WhatsApp message so that it says message deleted - in detail?

To ensure that the recipient sees "This message was deleted" when you remove a WhatsApp message, follow these detailed steps:

1. Open WhatsApp: Launch the WhatsApp application on your smartphone or tablet.
2. Navigate to Chat: Go to the chat where you want to delete the message. This can be an individual chat or a group chat.
3. Select the Message: Long-press on the message you wish to delete until it is highlighted and checked. You can select multiple messages if needed by tapping on them.
4. Delete Option: At the top of your screen, you will see several options appear. Look for the trash can icon (?️) or the "Delete" option. Tap on it.

5. Confirm Deletion: A confirmation dialog will pop up asking if you want to delete the message(s). There are two options:

   • "Delete for Me": This deletes the message only from your device, but the recipient will still see it in their chat.
   • "Delete for Everyone": This option removes the message from both your device and the recipient's device. The recipient will then see "This message was deleted".
6. Choose "Delete for Everyone": To ensure the recipient sees the deletion notification, select "Delete for Everyone".

Important Considerations:

• Time Limit: You have up to 1 hour, 8 minutes, and 16 seconds from the time you sent the message to delete it for everyone. After this window, you will only be able to delete the message for yourself.
• Connection: Both you and the recipient must have an active internet connection for the deletion to take effect properly.
• Recipient's Phone Status: The recipient should not have read the message yet. If they have already seen it, they will still be able to see the content even if "This message was deleted" appears.

By following these steps carefully, you can successfully delete a WhatsApp message so that it displays "This message was deleted" for the recipient.
