How to delete my message on WhatsApp - in detail?

Deleting a message on WhatsApp can be a useful feature when you want to remove a sent message from your chat history, either for yourself or for the recipient as well. Here's a detailed guide on how to delete your messages on WhatsApp:

Delete for Me: This option allows you to delete the message only from your device. The recipient will still see the message in their chat history.
- Open WhatsApp and go to the chat where the message you want to delete is located.
- Long press on the message until a menu appears at the top of the screen.
- Tap on the 'Delete' icon (a trash can).
- Confirm by tapping 'Delete for Me'.
Delete for Everyone: This option allows you to delete the message for both you and the recipient(s) within a certain time frame. Note that this feature is only available for messages sent less than 1 hour, 8 minutes, and 30 seconds ago.
- Open WhatsApp and go to the chat where the message you want to delete is located.
- Long press on the message until a menu appears at the top of the screen.
- Tap on the 'Delete' icon (a trash can).
- Confirm by tapping 'Delete for Everyone'.

Important Considerations:

Time Limit: The 'Delete for Everyone' feature has a strict time limit. If more than 1 hour, 8 minutes, and 30 seconds have passed since sending the message, you will only be able to delete it for yourself.
Delivery Status: Recipients may see a notification indicating that a message was deleted before they had a chance to view it.
Group Chats: When deleting a message in a group chat, all participants will see that a message was deleted, but they won't know the content of the original message.

By following these steps, you can effectively manage your WhatsApp messages and maintain control over what appears in your chats.
