Once a WhatsApp message has been sent, it can only be deleted for everyone within a specific time frame of about 68 minutes after sending. This feature allows you to remove a message from your chat and the recipient's chat. However, once this time frame has passed, it's not possible to reverse or delete the message from the recipient's phone. To delete a message for everyone, simply tap and hold the message, choose 'Delete,' and then select 'Delete for everyone.' Remember, recipients might see your message before it's deleted or if deletion wasn't successful.
