Deleting WhatsApp messages older than 30 days can be done by following these steps:
1. Open WhatsApp on your phone and go to the chat or conversation where the message you want to delete is located.
2. Scroll through the chat history to find the specific message you want to delete. Remember that you can only delete messages that you have sent, not messages sent by others.
3. Tap and hold on the message you want to delete. This will select the message and bring up a menu at the top of the screen.
4. In the menu that appears, tap on the trash can icon or the “Delete” option. This will delete the message from your phone, but it will still be visible to the other person or people in the chat.
5. If you want to delete the message for everyone in the chat, you can use the “Delete for Everyone” option. This feature allows you to remove the message from both your phone and the recipient’s phone.
6. To delete the message for everyone, tap on the “Delete for Everyone” option in the menu. Keep in mind that this feature only works if both you and the recipient have the latest version of WhatsApp installed.
7. After selecting “Delete for Everyone,” the message will be removed from the chat for both you and the recipient. However, both of you will see a notification that a message has been deleted.
It’s important to note that this method only works for messages that are less than 7 minutes old. After that time, you won’t be able to delete the message for everyone, but you can still delete it from your own phone.
If you want to delete multiple messages or entire conversations, you can also use the “Clear Chat” option. This will delete all messages and media from the selected chat or conversation.
To use the “Clear Chat” option, follow these steps:
1. Open WhatsApp and go to the chat or conversation you want to clear.
2. Tap on the three dots or the menu icon at the top right corner of the screen.
3. In the menu that appears, tap on “More” or “Settings,” depending on your device.
4. Select the “Clear Chat” option. You may be asked to confirm your choice.
5. After confirming, all messages and media in the selected chat or conversation will be deleted from your phone. This action cannot be undone, so make sure you have a backup of any important messages or media before clearing the chat.
You can delete WhatsApp messages older than 30 days by selecting the message and tapping on the trash can icon to delete it from your phone. If you want to delete the message for everyone, use the “Delete for Everyone” option, but remember that it only works for messages less than 7 minutes old. You can also clear entire chats or conversations by using the “Clear Chat” option in the menu.
