Recall a message so it is deleted for all participants. Send a JSON body with the chatJid and messageId. Without senderJid it recalls a message you sent; with senderJid it can recall another group member's message (requires admin permission in that group). Returns the result.

API Features

Delete for everyone Remove a message from all participants' devices, not just your own

Moderate groups With admin rights and senderJid, recall another member's message

Cache-assisted senderJid is inferred from the available message history when omitted
