How to delete WhatsApp messages sent by Group Members when you are a Group Administrator. |
Here is how it works :-
If
you are an admin of a group, you can delete messages sent by another
group participant. This enables admins to manage their private groups
and communities by deleting inappropriate or abusive messages or media
for all members.
When an admin deletes a message for everyone, it will
be replaced with:
“This message was deleted by admin, [admin name]”
To delete a message sent by another group participant:
Open WhatsApp and go to the chat containing the message you want to delete.
Tap and hold the message.
Tap Delete
> Delete for Everyone > OK.
Note:
In
order for messages to be successfully deleted for everyone, you and the
recipients must be using the latest version of WhatsApp.
Recipients using WhatsApp for iOS may still have media you sent saved to their Photos, even after the message is deleted from the WhatsApp chat.
Recipients might see your message before it's deleted or if deletion wasn’t successful.
You won’t be notified if deleting for everyone wasn’t successful.
You have about 2 days after you’ve sent a message to request to Delete for Everyone.
Only group admins can delete messages sent by other group participants.
Group admins have about 2 days after someone else sends a message to request to Delete for Everyone.
