Not so long ago in WhatsApp there was an opportunity to delete messages from both the sender and the recipient. To do this, click on the message, and then call up a menu in which you can choose: delete the message only at yourself or at all.
The problem is that you can do this for a limited time. After about nine minutes, you can delete the message only on your device. But there is a tricky way to circumvent the restriction and delete the message even after a long time. The main thing is that the addressee does not read the message – in this case nothing can be done.
So, if you sent a message that you will regret all your life, but you understand this too late, here is a simple algorithm of actions to restore peace of mind.
- Turn off Wi-Fi and mobile data.
- Open your smartphone settings and change the date to the day ago.
- Go to WhatsApp, long press on the desired message, open the menu and select “Delete for All”.
Important: in the settings, change the date, not the time, otherwise WhatsApp will change the time of sending the message and it will not work.
