After months of development and programming WhatsApp have started rolling out the Delete features for Everyone, which allows you to recall messages after you’ve sent them.
This applies to text messages, gifs, video, pictures and anything you can send on WhatsApp, however it must be done within seven (7) minutes of sending the message.
How to recall messages on WhatsApp
The much anticipated feature is easy to use. Simply highlight the message you wish you didn’t send, select Delete from the menu and then hit Delete for Everyone.

It’s only available to certain users at the moment and only on the latest version of WhatsApp, so head over to the App Store and download all those updates you’ve been continually putting off. WhatsApp say the feature will be useful if your message ‘contains a mistake’.
However, the people you are messaging can still see the message before you delete it, and even if you manage to recall a message before the other person returns to their phone, they will still be able to see ‘This message was deleted’.
WhatsApp will also let you know if the recall wasn’t successful, just so you know if you need to send a grovelling apology message or not.
