    WhatsApp has finally rolled out the new, much-needed update for its iPhone and Android users which allows users to delete their messages after seven minutes of sending.

    This is how it works:

    1. Open WhatsApp and go to the chat containing the message you wish to delete.

    2. Tap and hold the message > choose Delete from the menu. Optionally, select more messages to delete multiple messages at once.

    3. Tap Delete > Delete for Everyone.

    WhatsApp told in its FAQs that messages that are successfully deleted for everyone will be replaced with a note saying "This message was deleted" in the recipients chats. So next time if you see a note saying “This message was deleted" in your chat, you should know that someone deleted their message for everyone before you could see it.

    Limitations:

    It should be noted that users can only delete messages for everyone for up to seven minutes after sending.

    Once seven minutes have passed, there is no way to delete messages for everyone.

    To delete messages, both sender and receiver must be using the latest version of WhatsApp for Android, iPhone or Windows Phone.

    It is not uncertain that the action will be completed until one is notified by WhatsApp that the message has been deleted.
