Nowadays, WhatsApp is one of the most popular messaging tools in the world. There are many useful features to help users create messages. After sending messages, users can choose a time limit for viewing messages or set messages to “delete for everyone after this time”. However, many users do not know how to delete WhatsApp messages for everyone after a time limit. When using WhatsApp to send messages, you may want to hide your message from others for a limited time. However, most of the time, you cannot find any way to delete messages for everyone after a time limit. Actually, there is a way to do this. You just need to activate “delete for everyone after this time” on the “delete for everyone after this time” setting. In this post, we’ll teach you how to erase WhatsApp messages for everyone quicker and more quickly after a time restriction.
There are two ways for deleting WhatsApp messages. Read below to know more about it.
1. Delete messages automatically after the expiration of the WhatsApp conversation
You can set the automatic deletion of messages in WhatsApp settings: choose “Account > Account Info” and then choose “Security” > “Delete for everyone after this time”. Enter a period of time you want to delete the message, and click “OK”. In the next pop-up window, confirm whether you want to delete the old conversation or not, and click OK again. If you don’t change anything and keep clicking OK in this pop-up window, WhatsApp will automatically delete all deleted messages from your device following these steps: WhatsApp will first remove all conversations that have expired (after 36 hours) from your phone. Just go to “Account” > “Account Info” and you will find thousands of conversations with a message time limit of 36 hours.
2. Delete messages manually
If you do not choose to delete expired messages automatically, there is another way to delete WhatsApp messages for everyone after a time limit. Confirm whether or not you want to delete the old conversation before doing so: choose “Account” > “Account Info” > “Security”. In this interface, there is an option called “Messages”, and you can see all your conversations (including the expired one) in it. If you want to delete this conversation, just go back to the chat list of WhatsApp and tap and hold the chat until a pop-up menu appears and then select Delete Chat. After selecting Delete Chat, confirm by tapping Delete for Everyone in the pop-up window.
How to Delete WhatsApp Message for Everyone After Time Limit?
Finally, I would like to tell you how to delete WhatsApp messages for everyone after a time limit if there is no more space on your device. Sometimes, the free space on your device is not enough and you want to erase the old WhatsApp messages. If you are in this situation, don’t worry because we can help you. In this case, it is recommended that you use an Android Data Recovery tool to delete WhatsApp messages for everyone after a time limit. This program can read all the data in your phone and pick out “deleted” files from your device. Moreover, it also supports different types of phones and has simple steps for version upgrades and usage. I recommend that you choose an advanced Android Data Recovery software, which has a very high success rate for recovering deleted files.
The steps of deleting WhatsApp messages for everyone after a time limit
Once you have installed and run this Android Data Recovery program on your computer, follow the steps below to delete WhatsApp messages for everyone after a time limit:
Step 1:Connect your phone to the program. Select the “Recover from Android devices” option, and click “Start”.
Step 2:Select phone data types. Then all data types in formats including contacts, text messages, call logs, photos, videos and so on will be displayed during the scanning process. Choose what you want to recover and click “Scan”.
Step 3:When scanning the phone data, select the files you would like to recover. It is recommended that you scan the photos and videos first. After selecting photos and videos, click the “Recover” button to view the recovered files.
Step 4: Choose a file that you want to recover and click “Open”. After recovering your phone data, your computer will be connected with your device via USB.
Step 5: Then open WhatsApp on your phone, find messages that have expired in WhatsApp settings or choose to delete messages automatically under settings, then tap “Delete for Everyone”. And these old chats will be deleted from both devices at one time.
Deleting messages is the most common use of this function. Therefore, you should keep the following considerations in mind:
Delete all old messages at once – There are many situations in which all old messages have expired at the same time and they should be deleted all at once. When deleting these messages, it is recommended that you choose the “Delete All Old Conversations” option because it allows you to delete only one message by tap-and-hold on each message and delete only one message by selecting emails from one group, group list or conversation list.
