hey this is paul from wondershare mobile trans and the question i have for you today
is that have you ever needed to delete whatsapp messages but for everyone well if the answer to
that question is yes then lucky you because today in this video what we plan to do is show you how
you can delete whatsapp messages for everyone up to a week old and that the methods that we show
you today will be nice they'll be easy and they'll be simple to follow so let's get into that video
i'm sure at this point everyone in the world knows what whatsapp is already i'm sure you know what it
is i'm sure you use it i'm sure your friends and family use it because there is up to 2 billion
users that use whatsapp every single day and with 2 billion people using whatsapp every day
sometimes messages that you send might not send to the right people or if you're anything like my
phone your autocorrect changes words to some words that are a little bit more embarrassing which you
don't want your mum or your boss or your friends seeing or actually even worse you could send a
photo to your mum that was not meant for your mum which means you then need to go ahead and delete
those messages hopefully before people can see them but sometimes you might realize a couple of
days later so you still need to be able to delete them so luckily for you in this video today we
will show you some methods on how you can delete whatsapp messages and how you can delete whatsapp
messages for everyone with messages that are as old up to a week and you might still be sat there
thinking and asking yourself well how do i not know about this method and how do i do this how
do i delete those whatsapp messages for everyone so let's tell you and start with method one
in method one and this first step the first thing that you'll need to do to delete these messages is
grab your android phone and then once you've got your android phone you need to make sure you open
up whatsapp you'll then need to find the chat where the message is that you want to delete
okay now you've found the chat the next step is just as easy and what you'll need to do
is find the message within that chat that is the one that needs to be deleted once you've found
the message you need to long press on it and then in the top right hand corner of the screen what
you'll see is a bin icon and this is something that you need to click on once clicked on
this will then give you the options to delete for me which is you or delete for everyone and
this is the option that you need to be picking once you select the delete for everyone option
that message that was selected will be deleted for everyone in that conversation and this works
if it's a single contact or a message within a group chat you'll also see in the chat the
message you deleted this message to confirm that it is already been deleted and something that you
might not know which is quite handy is that you can actually delete more than one message at a
time and it's the exact same way as we just mentioned but just selecting more than one
message that method is really good for deleting messages quickly if you realize that you've made
a mistake but after one hour you don't get that option to delete the messages for everybody
so what happens at that point if you still need to delete a message is there a way around
it can you still delete whatsapp messages for everyone and the answer to that is yes
you can delete messages up to one week old so let's show you how to do that with method two
so at this point i'm sure you're sat there thinking well how do i delete those messages
after that one hour time frame well don't worry because the next few simple easy steps will
show you exactly how you can do that so don't worry if you have missed that 60 minute window
and just a quick side note before we carry on it has to be you that sends that message so if
someone else has sent you that message you cannot delete it for everybody it has to have been sent
by you and now you know that you can start with your first step which is turning off your wi-fi
and mobile data to make sure that whatsapp has no access to data at all and that is nice and easy
just pull down that quick settings menu from the top of your screen and turn off the wi-fi there
step one of method two is nice and easy for you to follow but remember this only works on
android for this method and unfortunately this only works on older versions of whatsapp so if
you have your android device what you need to do here in the next part is head into your settings
menu on your android phone and find your date and time settings the reason for this is that
we're going to do a bit of magic now with the time and date so just make sure you find and
select the date and time options when inside this part of the settings menu what you'll need to do
is turn off automatic date and time because this makes sure that the next parts of this video work
perfectly once you've done that you need to make sure you then manually set the time and date to
match up with the message that you want to delete so it could be a good idea here to make a note of
the time and date of the message that you want to delete before you set that time manually next
go into your settings find the app section but this might be called apps and notifications as
well depending on the phone that you're using when you're in the app section you might have
already guessed what you need to do next but if you haven't you then need to scroll down until you
can see what's up and once you click on it another page should open up immediately when you're in the
next section you need to select the for stop option and then just click ok the reason why
you need to select four stop here is just to make sure that whatsapp is not open at all and it's not
receiving any data or any background information because it needs to be closed completely for the
next step for the next step this is now where you can delete that message for everyone so you'll
need to go back into whatsapp and find the message in that group chat or contact that needs deleting
and just like before just long press once you've done that select that bin icon in the top corner
and then select delete for everyone this means that that message will now delete for everyone
and not just you and the final step here on step 6 is you just need to go back and change
your date and time settings to its automatic setting so to do that go back into settings
date and time and this time just make sure you select automatic you can now head back into
whatsapp as well just to double check that that message has been deleted and then finally you
have got rid of that message for everyone there we go that is it those whatsapp messages should
now have been deleted and you did not have to be quick because that is how you can delete whatsapp
messages for everyone for messages that are up to a week old so if you miss that 60 minute time
frame that whatsapp gives you now there is no need to worry we hope this has helped you and answered
