A friend has sent explicit photos via WhatsApp and she wants to delete the photos
Hello, thank you for contacting Howly! I am here to help you today!
May I know your first name, please?
****
Nice to meet you, ****!
You too
****, could you please specify how your friend sent the pictures?
Via WhatsApp to his account/phone
Thank you, ****!
Actually, your friend can delete those pictures in their conversation on WhatsApp. Though, if her boyfriend has already saved it, to my regret, there is no way to delete them from his device unless she has access to it
She said it only shows delete for me
Not delete for everyone because they were sent few months back
So that wouldn't delete it for his chat
Okay, does her boyfriend use iPhone?
Yes and so does she
Oh not sorry, he is with galaxy's
So android and she is with iPhone
I see
So, he sees the messages in their conversation while it's not seen from her side, right?
We don't know what he sees but the photos are in the conversation and can be accessed even if he logs on from a different decide
Device*
Can they be deleted from the WhatsApp messages media part for both parties
Understood, this happens because Whatsapp deletes messages only for one side of the conversation, ****
So impossible to delete it for him? Because I know messanger does it for both sides
Actually, we could try something but it's more of a trick and it's not guaranteed to help
Officially, it's not possible on WhatsApp
Does she have those pictures in their conversation?
Yes she does
The pictures are in the media
The media, links and docs part
I mean, she still can tap and hold the messages and select 'Delete', right?
Yes
It says delete for me
Good
Please allow me a moment to provide you with further instructions, I would really appreciate it if you would wait for me in the chat. Thank you!
I'm really sorry for the delay. I'm still working on this, just stay in the chat, please!
Yes ofc
Thank you, ****!
Please, ask your friend to follow the instructions below:
- Put your phone on Airplane mode
- Go to the Settings app > Date and Time
- Set the time so that it's before the message was sent
- Now, without turning the Airplane mode off, head to Whatsapp, go to the conversation and select the messages you want to delete
- Then go to the delete option and you will see the 'delete for everyone' option
- Delete the message and only now turn off the airplane mode, set back date and time back
Is everything clear with the provided instruction?
We'll try now
Do you mind waiting until she does it
It's okay
Take your time!
Let me know if you have difficulties with the instructions, I will do my best to help!
Thank you so much
You're great
It's my pleasure, ****!
I'm happy to hear this!
She says it works
She's still checking
Good
Please, keep me apprised.
Yep it works!! She'll keep doing it
Thanks a lot! Have a great night/day
I am so pleased to see your issue got resolved!
