How to delete copied messages in Samsung WhatsApp - in detail?
To delete copied messages in Samsung WhatsApp, you can follow these detailed steps:
- Open WhatsApp: First, open the WhatsApp application on your Samsung device. Ensure that you are connected to the internet as this process requires online access.
- Navigate to the Chat: Go to the chat where the copied message is located. If the message was copied from a specific chat, you need to be in that particular conversation.
- Select the Message: Long press on the message you want to delete until it gets highlighted. You can select multiple messages by tapping on them while they are highlighted.
- Access the Options Menu: Once the message(s) is/are selected, tap on the three vertical dots (⋮) located at the top right corner of your screen. This will open a drop-down menu with several options.
- Choose 'Delete': From the drop-down menu, select the 'Delete' option. You might be prompted to confirm the deletion; simply tap 'OK' or 'Delete' to proceed.
- Confirm Deletion: After tapping 'Delete', a confirmation dialog will appear asking if you want to delete the message(s) for everyone or just for yourself. Since the goal is to remove copied messages, select 'Delete for me'. This action ensures that the message remains visible to the sender and other recipients but disappears from your chat history.
- Verify Deletion: To verify that the message has been deleted, scroll through your chat history and ensure that the selected message(s) is no longer present.
By following these steps, you can effectively delete copied messages in Samsung WhatsApp. It's important to remember that deleting a message for yourself does not remove it from the recipient's device; it only clears it from your chat history. If you need to delete a message for everyone in the chat, you would select 'Delete for everyone', but this option is only available within 13 hours of sending the message and applies to all participants in the conversation.
