Have you ever sent a message in anger or by mistake that you later regretted? WhatsApp offers a feature where you can delete a message within a certain time frame, but what if you want to delete a message after that time limit? In this post, we’ll explain a trick that allows you to delete a WhatsApp message even after the time limit.
Firstly, it’s worth noting that WhatsApp has increased the time limit for deleting messages to 1 hour 8 minutes and 16 seconds. However, if you want to delete a message after that time, follow the steps below.
The trick involves manipulating the date and time settings on your phone. Start by turning off your Wi-Fi or data and clearing WhatsApp from your RAM. Then, go to your phone settings and find the date and time settings. Disable the automatic date and time and automatic time zone options. Set the time just a little bit after the message was sent, for example, if you sent the message at 8:20 pm, set the time to 8:22 pm.
Now, go back to your WhatsApp account and select the message you want to delete. You should now see the “delete for everyone” option. Delete the message and turn on your Wi-Fi or data. The message won’t be deleted yet, so click on the “delete for everyone” option again. Now, turn on your mobile data, and the message will be deleted successfully.
Remember to go back to your phone’s settings and reset the date and time to the correct values. Enabling the automatic date and time and time zone options will show the original time on your phone.
Although this trick may seem complicated, it’s an effective way to delete a WhatsApp message after the time limit. Give it a try and let us know in the comments if you encountered any issues.
