Yes, you can delete a message on WhatsApp without the other person knowing. Use the 'Delete for Everyone' feature within approximately 1 hour of sending the message. However, the recipient might see the message before it's deleted or if the deletion was unsuccessful, they will see a 'This message was deleted' notice.
