Yes, the other person can still see the text message after you delete it from your device. Deleting a text message from your phone only removes it from your view, not the recipient's. To have a message removed from both sides, you would need specific messaging apps that offer this feature, like WhatsApp or Telegram, where you can delete messages for both the sender and the receiver within a certain time frame.
