Accidentally send a message to the wrong chat? Take backs are permitted. When deleting a recently sent message, you now have the option to delete for everyone in the chat.

To delete messages for everyone in the chat:

This is a best effort to delete messages on all devices that received it in that specific chat. Quoted replies are not deleted.

  1. Open the chat.
  2. On mobile:
    • Tap and hold on a message that you have sent within the past 3 hours.
    • Tap delete TrashCan.png.
  3. On desktop:
    • Hover to the inside of the message bubble that you have sent within the past 3 hours.
    • Select more desktop_info_icon.png.
  4. Select Delete for everyone.

What do I do if I only see the option to delete for me?

  1. Confirm you're selecting a message you have sent.
  2. Confirm it is less than 3 hours since you have sent the message.
