Delete WhatsApp group messages for everyone
One of the problems faced by administrators of WhatsApp groups is having to deal with messages that can cause misunderstandings, offended people, insults. That is why today we are going to teach you how to eliminate these messages and avoid possible hostilities or messages that are not relevant.
If you are one of the people who manages a WhatsApp group, you can already delete messages sent by other participants. This will give you the ability to control your private groups and communities, as you will be able to delete inappropriate or offensive media files and messages for all members.
How to delete messages from a WhatsApp group as an administrator:
In the following video we show you how to do it and what happens when deleting messages. If you are more of reading, we will explain it to you in writing below:
For this, the administrators of the group, as soon as they see a message that they want to delete for everyone, must perform the same action that is always done to delete any message. Hold down the message until the options appear and click on "Delete". After this it will allow us to select more messages but if we do not want to click on the trash can and that is when we must choose the option "Delete for all" .
The message will disappear from the group chat for all users and will leave the following notification:

Things to consider when deleting messages for everyone, by a group admin:
You should also bear in mind these issues regarding the deletion of messages:
- For messages to delete correctly for everyone, both you and the recipients must be using the latest version of WhatsApp. From version 2.22.21.77 (on iOS) is when this functionality can be executed.
- Media files sent in the group may remain saved in your Photos even after the WhatsApp chat message is deleted. Everything will depend on whether or not you have the "Save to Photos" option activated.
- Recipients may see messages before they are deleted or if they are not deleted successfully.
- You will not receive a notification if the message is not deleted for everyone successfully.
- You will have about 2 days after sending the message to use the Delete option for everyone.
- Group admins will have about 2 days after someone has sent a message to use the Delete option for everyone.
- Participants in the group will be able to see which admin decided to use the Delete option for everyone.
- Messages deleted by an administrator cannot be recovered or appealed.
Well, nothing more about it. Finally WhatsApp gives administrators a little more control over everything that is published in the groups they manage.
Without further ado we summon you to new news, tricks, tutorials, apps to get the most out of your Apple devices.
