If we sometimes send messages that we regret, it is often too late to delete them… For this, WhatsApp has decided to give users more time to delete messages.

Currently, you have up to an hour following sending to delete a message on WhatsApp. That changes: parent company Meta has now decided to give users up to two days and twelve hours.

Be careful though: this option is only available for users who have installed the latest Whatsapp update. Your interlocutors must also have made the update to no longer see the messages that you have deleted.
