Deleted Sent Messages Can Still Be Read in WhatsApp

WhatsApp releases the quotes and replies feature where users can quote and reply to certain messages in WhatsApp group conversations or private conversations.

This feature can reduce misunderstandings in conversations that are often buried with other conversations.

The following year, WhatsApp released the delete for everyone feature used to delete the "wrong room" message. Messages can only be deleted in less than seven minutes, past the deadline, then messages will not be deleted.

Unfortunately, there is another way to prevent the "wrong room" message from missing from the conversation window, which is with quote and replies feature. The original message will be lost, but not with the quoted message.

If the recipient of the message or one of the group members has replied by quoting the contents of the message then the message will still appear in the quote, even if it has been deleted in less than 7 minutes.

So the original message remains deleted but the quoted message will still be perched and can be read by recipients or members of the chat group.

However, WhatsApp messages that have been deleted can no longer be answered by other users. So if you do not want to be read and deleted forever, immediately delete the sent messages before other users reply by quoting.

The failure of this removal is not a bug or a problem remove feature messages on WhatsApp. However it is part of the feature.

The parties have not provided an explanation WhatsApp reserved this weakness. The company only describes the message be removed within 7 minutes but no description if the quoted message other users.
