These accidents range from the harmless to the incriminating. Right after we hit send, we realize we\u2019ve made a terrible mistake and there are no take-backs, unless you use Whatsapp. Whatsapp is rolling out a new feature to take back sent messages. When you unsend a message on Whatsapp, it\u2019s removed\/deleted for everyone in the conversation. You\u2019re not just deleting it from your end which is what normally happens.<\/p>\n<h2>Unsend A Message On Whatsapp<\/h2>\n<p>This feature is rolling out slowly to users worldwide. If you don\u2019t see it yet give it a few days. You won\u2019t need to update Whatsapp if you\u2019re already running the latest version. It might take a little longer to appear if you\u2019re using a VPN for Whatsapp. We\u2019re detailing how you can unsend a message on Whatsapp but read the limitations of this feature described further below to understand how you can or can\u2019t use it.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking to try this feature out or just check if you have it yet, send a new message to a friend right now. Tap and hold on the message and from the floating bar, select Delete.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-221907\" src=\"https:\/\/files2.tojikon.net\/files-cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/how-to-unsend-a-message-on-whatsapp.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1067\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Next, tap the trash can button and you will see a menu with two options; Delete for me, and Delete for everyone.\u00a0Tap Delete for everyone to unsend the message.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-221909\" src=\"https:\/\/files2.tojikon.net\/files-cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/how-to-unsend-a-message-on-whatsapp-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1067\"\/><\/p>\n<h2>Conditions Apply<\/h2>\n<p>This feature works in a small time frame. If you need to take back a message, you must do it within seven minutes. If you wait any longer than that, the delete option will only show \u2018Delete for me\u2019. This is why we asked you to start with a new message when testing the feature. This also means all those messages you were ready to take back aren\u2019t going anywhere.<\/p>\n<p>When you delete a message, everyone in the conversation is told that a message has been deleted. If you were thinking of silently taking back a message, that isn\u2019t happening. The message will be deleted when a user comes online. If you delete a message when the other person is offline, it will remain on their device until they come back online.<\/p>\n<p>Whatsapps isn\u2019t trying to give users a way to hide inappropriate behavior. If you have been sending abusive messages to someone and only realize after a day or two that you might have done something wrong, this feature isn\u2019t going to help you. It\u2019s possibly there to help avoid confusion e.g. if you\u2019re in a group chat and trying to agree on a time and place to meet, you will probably want to delete all the rejected options to avoid confusion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Related Articles We\u2019ve all at some point in our lives sent a message we later regretted.
