How to Recall Messages in GBWhatsApp Group Chats
GBWhatsApp allows users to recall sent messages in group chats within specific time limits. This functionality is particularly useful if you’ve sent a message by mistake or if you want to remove a message that is no longer relevant. In this article, we will guide you on how to recall messages in GBWhatsApp group chats, step by step.
What Is Message Recall in GBWhatsApp?
Message recall refers to the ability to delete a sent message from the recipient’s device, both for individual chats and group chats. GBWhatsApp offers this feature with a wider time window compared to the official app, giving users more control over their sent messages. When a message is recalled, it is removed from the chat, and the recipient will see a notification that the message was deleted.
How to Enable Message Recall in GBWhatsApp
To use the message recall feature, you need to ensure that it is enabled in your GBWhatsApp settings. By default, GBWhatsApp enables this feature, but it’s always good to double-check. Here’s how to enable it:
- Open GBWhatsApp on your device.
- Tap on the three vertical dots in the top right corner to open the menu.
- Go to GB Settings.
- Scroll down to Privacy settings.
- Under Privacy, look for the Delete Messages for Everyone option and ensure it is enabled.
Once enabled, you’ll be able to recall messages in any chat, including group chats.
Step-by-Step Guide to Recall a Message in a GBWhatsApp Group Chat
Recalling a message in a group chat on GBWhatsApp is simple, as long as you follow these steps:
Step 1: Open the Group Chat
Navigate to the group chat in which you want to recall the message. You can do this by tapping on the group name in the chat list.
Step 2: Find the Message to Recall
Scroll through the chat until you locate the message you want to delete. It could be text, media, or a file.
Step 3: Tap and Hold the Message
Once you’ve found the message, tap and hold it for a few seconds. This will bring up several options at the top of the screen.
Step 4: Select the Delete Icon
In the top toolbar, you will see an icon resembling a trash bin. Tap this icon, and you will see three options:
- Delete for Me: This deletes the message from your chat but not from the group.
- Delete for Everyone: This deletes the message from the entire group, including your device and all group members’ devices. This is the option you need to recall the message.
Step 5: Confirm Deletion
After selecting Delete for Everyone, the message will be deleted from the group chat. The group members will see a notification that the message has been deleted by you.
How Much Time Do You Have to Recall a Message in GBWhatsApp?
GBWhatsApp offers a much longer time window to recall a message compared to the official app. While official app allows you to recall a message within about 1 hour, GBWhatsApp can give you up to 24 hours to delete the message for everyone. This provides more flexibility for users to recall messages, even if they realize their mistake after some time has passed.
Limitations of Message Recall in GBWhatsApp
While the message recall feature is useful, there are some limitations and factors to consider:
- The Message May Be Seen Before Deletion
If the recipient opens the message before you delete it, they will still see it even if you manage to recall it afterward. GBWhatsApp doesn’t allow recalling messages that have already been read.
- Message Recall May Not Work After a Certain Time
While GBWhatsApp offers an extended recall time window, there’s still a limit. If more than 24 hours have passed since the message was sent, you won’t be able to recall it.
Final Thoughts
The message recall feature in GBWhatsApp is a powerful tool for managing your messages, especially in group chats. It allows users to quickly retract messages they’ve sent by mistake or wish to remove. By following the simple steps outlined in this guide, you can easily recall any message within the 24-hour timeframe.
