We've all accidentally sent a message to the wrong person and instantly regretted hitting the dispatch button to try to turn the internet off in a desperate attempt to stop it sending... but now you don't have to worry so much within WhatsApp.

Luckily WhatsApp has now found a solution for the problem and allows you to delete messages from private and group chats.

It used to be the case that you could delete messages from your side of the WhatsApp chat, but this wouldn't get rid of it on other people's accounts so your embarrassing spelling mistakes (or worse) would be visible in their chat windows forever.

Follow the instructions below and we'll teach you how you can delete messages directly from WhatsApp with relatively little effort, but there are a few specifics you need to know about first.

What you need to know before
The process is the same whether you have an iOS, Windows Phone or Android device, but there are a few limits to the process at the moment.
Everyone you've sent the message to will need to be on the latest version of WhatsApp software. If someone in your group chat hasn't updated their app software for a while it may be the messages won't be deleted for them.

WhatsApp also won't notify you if the delete didn't work, so you've just got to hope your friends and family regularly update their phone's apps.
The process below also won't stop people seeing the message before you've deleted it. It's worth bearing in mind someone may have already read the message before you've managed to delete it.

You also only have seven minutes to delete the message you've sent before it's there for good. WhatsApp has arbitrarily decided seven minutes is the best amount of time to allow you to delete your messages, so you may want to follow this guide quickly if you're here to
