Yeah, same here. It really makes us wish messenger services had, like, some sort of undo button. Enter: WhatsApp. Starting now, it lets you delete sent messages.

How To Delete Sent WhatsApp messages

  • Update and open the WhatsApp app on your phone.
  • Go to the chat with the message you wish to delete.
  • Tap and hold the message, then choose Delete from the menu.
  • You can also select more messages to delete multiple messages at once.
  • Then, tap Delete, and then tap Delete for Everyone.

Are there any limitations?

Yes. To delete a sent message, you must decide to do so within the first seven minutes. So, you can’t send a late message, then wake up the next morning, and erase it. Also, your recipient will see a “This message was deleted” notice, which won’t look suspicious or anything. Furthermore, for messages to be deleted for everyone, both you and your recipient must be using the latest version of WhatsApp.

When will Delete Sent WhatsApp messages feature be available?

It’s now rolling out to WhatsApp users on Android, iPhone, and Windows Phone.
