How to delete WhatsApp messages on someone else's phone - briefly?
To delete WhatsApp messages on someone else's phone, you can use the "Delete for everyone" feature. However, this only works if both parties have the latest version of WhatsApp installed and the message has not been read by the recipient.
How to delete WhatsApp messages on someone else's phone - in detail?
To delete WhatsApp messages from someone else's phone, you need to understand that there are specific conditions and limitations set by the app itself. Directly deleting messages from another person's device is not possible due to privacy and security measures implemented by WhatsApp. However, there are a few scenarios where message deletion can occur:
-
Deleting Messages for Everyone: If the sender of the message decides to delete it for everyone within seven minutes of sending, all recipients will have that message removed from their devices, including the person you're concerned about. This feature is available for both individual and group chats. To do this:
-
Deleting Messages on Your Own Device: If you are in a group chat or an individual chat with someone else, you can delete messages from your own device. This action will not remove the message from the other person's phone but will clean up your chat history:
-
Revoking Message Delivery: If you are concerned about a message being delivered to another person's phone, you can revoke its delivery status by disconnecting your device from the internet before the message is marked as read or delivered. This won't delete the message but will prevent it from being seen:
- Before sending the message, turn off your Wi-Fi and mobile data.
- Compose and send the message.
- Keep your device disconnected until you are sure the recipient has not received the message.
