Now you are able to access the whatsapp unsend feature, say goodbye to mistakes…
Finally, what every whatsapp user has been hoping for is here; whatsapp now lets you delete your sent messages from both your chat and the recipient's even if it has already been read.
This is what we've been demanding from whatsapp. Many of us do make mistakes when it comes to sending text messages with our phone, sometimes it is caused by the type of keyboard we use and sometimes we type a message correctly but due to loss of concentration we might end up sending it to the wrong person. Hahaha…
On whatsapp, that awkward moment you supposedly composed a rude message to be delivered to your friend but at the end, it was your boss who received the message.
Now you will be able to unsend or delete sent messages on whatsapp even when the receiver might have read your message. Whatsapp added that you can also delete your sent attachment like images, videos, voice messages, GIFs, etc. Deleting your message will erase both your copy and the receiver’s copy of the message.
How To Unsend Messages On Whatsapp
It's pretty simple, follow the below steps for just once and you will be familiar with it.
• Launch your whatsapp
• Open the chat where you sent that silly message you want to delete
• Tap and hold the message(s) you wish to delete
• Choose delete from the menu displayed above
• Tap delete>DELETE FOR EVERYONE; this option will erase the selected messages from both your chat and the recipient’s chat.
Beware: Choosing the “DELETE FOR ME” will only delete the selected message(s) from your chat only.
However, there are limitations for this ‘unsend task’
To make sure your deleted message(s) become successful, you must be sure of the following;
• The message(s) you want to delete should not have exceeded 7 minutes from the time it was sent; you can only delete messages that were sent in less than 7 minutes ago. So be quick to notice and act fast.
• Ensure that both you and the recipient(s) are using the latest version of whatsapp either on Android platform, iPhone, or Windows Phone because that's where the feature was built on. If deleting for everyone wasn't successful, whatsapp will notify you of that.
• Deleting any message(s) you initially sent doesn't guarantee you that the recipient never had a chance of reading it before it was deleted. But as long as you are able to delete your message(s) within 7 minutes of being sent using the “delete for everyone” option, the recipient’s copy of your message(s) will be deleted and be replaced with the following texts “ This message was deleted” which means recipient will be notified that you deleted a message but will not know the content of the message deleted.

Believe me, whatsapp is rolling out this feature to users around the world, but not everyone will get this at the same time. The whatsapp version which supports this feature is yet to roll into my device, though the beta version is available for Android version 4.0.3 and above. You can download the beta version from Apkmirror but remember the feature won't work unless both whatsapp users are using the supported version. So let's cross our hands while we wait for the supported version to roll into our devices for an update. Thanks for visiting Oshetech, please do come back for more tech info.
