How to delete WhatsApp messages
Unlike iMessage, WhatsApp does allow you to delete or unsend a message within a certain timeframe.
To delete or unsend a WhatsApp message, simply head to the chat window, hold down on the text you wish to remove and tap “delete”.
The message will no longer appear in the chat and will be replaced by an alert that reads: “This message was deleted”.

The process is permanent, meaning you can’t retrieve a text after deleting it.
However, you only have just over an hour to delete the message for everyone in the chat otherwise you can only delete it from your own screen.
