To permanently delete WhatsApp photos from both sides, open the chat, tap and hold the photo, select the trash bin icon, and choose 'Delete for Everyone.' This action must be done within a specific time frame (about an hour after sending). The photo will then be removed from both your device and the recipient’s device, provided they are also using the latest WhatsApp version.
