How to delete emojis in WhatsApp iPhone - in detail?

Deleting emojis in WhatsApp on an iPhone can be a straightforward process, depending on the context in which the emoji is used. Whether you're looking to remove emojis from a message you sent or received, here are some detailed steps to guide you through the process:

  1. Deleting Emojis from a Sent Message:

    • Open WhatsApp on your iPhone and navigate to the chat where the message with the emoji is located.
    • Find the specific message containing the emoji that you wish to delete.
    • Tap and hold on the message until it becomes highlighted. You will see options appear at the top of the screen.
    • Select "Edit" from the menu options. This will allow you to make changes to the message content.
    • With the message in edit mode, tap and hold on the emoji until a magnifying glass appears.
    • Drag the magnifying glass over the emoji to select it, then tap the trash can icon that appears at the bottom of the screen. This will delete the selected emoji from the message.
    • After deleting the emoji, you can either send the edited message or cancel the changes by tapping "Cancel" in the upper left corner.
  2. Deleting Emojis from a Received Message:

    • Unfortunately, WhatsApp does not allow users to edit or delete content from messages that they have received. The only option available is to delete the entire message thread, which might not be desirable in many cases.
    • If you wish to remove a received message containing an emoji, you will need to delete the entire chat. Open the chat, tap on the contact name at the top of the screen, and select "Delete Chat." This action will permanently remove all messages from that particular conversation.
  3. Deleting Emojis from Your Status:

    • If you have added emojis to your WhatsApp status and wish to delete them:
      • Open WhatsApp and go to the "Status" tab at the bottom of the screen.
      • Tap on the "My Status" option to view your current status.
      • Find the status update that contains the emoji you want to remove.
      • Tap on the three dots (...) next to the status and select "Edit."
      • With the status in edit mode, tap and hold on the emoji until it is selected.
      • Tap the trash can icon to delete the selected emoji.
      • After making your changes, tap "Send" to update your status without the emoji.

By following these steps, you should be able to successfully delete emojis from WhatsApp messages on your iPhone, whether they are sent or received.
