How to cancel audio on WhatsApp | Using the good old 'Delete message'

This is one of those features that caused some controversy when it was launched, but quickly gained popularity with the public.

With this function, it is possible to delete a message before the contact – or contacts – in question has a chance to read what was sent.

This feature can also be used when canceling an audio message on WhatsApp. In fact, I dare say that this tool is even more effective in cases where the message you want to delete is an audio message, since this type of media requires the other contact to press play to listen to it. 

In other words, if you regret sending the audio, the chances of you being able to delete it before the person hears it are much more promising.

Here, you will select the audio message in question, select it and hold your finger down for a few seconds until the 'Delete' option appears. Then, you will have to confirm which messages you want to delete and, after selecting, just click on the trash can icon.

And that's where a crucial detail comes in! At this point, you'll need to be careful to select the 'Delete for everyone' option. If you select the other option – 'Delete for me' – the audio will only be deleted on your device, but it will remain in the conversation so that your contact/contacts can access it.

In that case, you would lose the chance to delete its contents!
