How to remove voice message recording in WhatsApp - in detail?

Please note that this action only deletes the message from your device; it does not remove the message from the recipient’s device. If you want to delete the message for everyone in the chat, you must use the 'Delete for Everyone' feature within 1 hour of sending the message:
- Delete for Everyone: Tap and hold on the voice message until it is highlighted. From the context menu that appears, select 'Delete for Everyone'. Confirm your choice by tapping 'Delete for Everyone' again in the confirmation dialog. This will remove the message from both your device and the recipient’s device.
- Verify Deletion: You can verify that the voice message has been deleted by scrolling through the chat history again. The message should no longer be visible.
