Delete messages
If you have sent an instant message to the person you should not, WhatsApp incorporated a measure to solve all your problems.

-Eliminate for everyone- allows you to delete specific messages that you have sent to a group chat or an individual chat.

To eliminate the messages for all you have to do the following. Open WhatsApp and go to the chat that contains the message you want to delete. Press and hold on the message. Optionally, you can touch on several messages to delete them at the same time. Next, touch Delete at the top of the screen and finally Delete for everyone.
