Trick that, at the moment, doesn't work.
If you don't know, at WhatsApp we can delete messages sent by mistake for a long time. Many of us unintentionally send messages, by mistake, that we later regret having sent. If the recipient has not seen it, we have the possibility to delete it before they see it.
In the beginning, only 7 minutes were allowed to pass to be able to delete it. After that time they could not be deleted. But for a few months the time has been extended to 68 minutes. This means that if you send a message at 2:00 p.m.You have until 3:08 p.m. so I can delete it from the conversation.
But there was a trick to be able to delete messages sent that exceeded those 68 minutes. Messages up to a week old could be deleted.
Beware that this trick to delete old WhatsApp messages doesn't work for now:
Here we show you the video of the trick published in November 2017:
The alert went off when one of our YouTube followers told us that the tutorial was useless.
We have put ourselves to the test and he is right. Apparently it hasn't worked for a while. While doing the video tutorial, it appears to us as deleted, but to the other person, or people, it appears in the chat.
Deleted WhatsApp message
Doing the trick, we've managed to delete messages from up to 13 hours old. Those who have more time we have not been able to delete them from the mobile of the other people belonging to the chat.
That is why we warn you that, for now, even if you do this tutorial and the option to "Delete everyone" appears and the message appears as deleted in your chat, it is not deleted in the other person's chat if more than 13 hours, 8 minutes, and 16 seconds have passed since you wrote it. It is the time stipulated by WhatsApp to be able to execute a message deletion.
If you don't know, when we decide to delete a message by clicking on the "Delete for everyone" option (doing or not doing the trick) and one or more of the users in a group have their phone turned off, if after 13 hours, 8 minutes and 16 seconds the request to delete the message did not reach the recipient's server, the message could not be deleted. This means that it would appear as "deleted" to you, but the recipient(s) would continue to see that message.
So, by doing the trick we told you about in the video, we repeat to you again that you can only delete old messages that do not exceed 13h., 8min and 16sec. since the message was issued. If you have more time it won't be possible, for now.
As soon as we have news about it we will let you know. We will keep you informed. Keep an eye on us.
Greetings.
