Yes, if the message was sent via RCS (Rich Communication Services) on your Samsung device, you have the possibility to delete it. However, this only works if the recipient has RCS enabled and has not yet read the message. Simply press and hold the message you want to delete and choose the 'Delete for everyone' option. Note, this feature might not be available for SMS or MMS messages. Always review your message before sending to prevent the need for deletion.
