In 2014, Facebook acquired WhatsApp for the sum of $19 billion and this was the beginning of newer features on WhatsApp.

The messaging app introduced several exciting features for users including the 'delete message' feature which allowed users to delete already delivered messages on WhatsApp.

The delete feature is easily accessible on Android, iOS, and even web versions.

However, there are a few limitations to this feature. WhatsApp allows you to delete a message, but shows that 'this message was deleted in the inbox'.

In other words, the recipient will be aware of a deleted message but cannot get the contents of the message.

But what if you intend to see recalled messages on WhatsApp?

How to Recall a Sent Message on WhatsApp?

Deleting a WhatsApp message is quite easy to achieve.

Simply;

  • Press and hold on to the message you want to delete
  • Click on the delete icon at the top corner
  • A few options are displayed on the screen
  • Tap on the 'delete for everyone' option

In cases where the receiver is yet to see the message, it automatically deletes and displays 'this message was deleted' on the screen.

If you select the 'delete for me' option, then the message automatically deletes from your end, but the recipient will still see it.

Also, you can decide to delete more than one message per time. Simply select as many messages as you want by clicking on them. After this, you can click on the trash button and select your desired option.

  • Open the group chat and locate the message you intend to recall
  • Press and hold the chat and tap on the trash button
  • Three options will be displayed; tap on the 'delete for everyone option'
  • The message becomes deleted from the group chat
