Recall (Delete for Everyone) a Message
View All WhatsApp Messaging API APIs →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 upstream result.
API Features
