Method 2: Works with Single, Double tick
Before the announcement of this update, Whatsapp users have already made many tricks to delete a message before the other person reads it. One of those tricks is to block the person before they get to read the message. We will explain:
1. First, you need to make sure the message has been delivered but, the receiver hasn’t been read yet. You must confirm if two blue ticks appear in the message. If the ticks aren’t blue, then the message hasn’t been read yet.
2. To do this trick, you must enter the chat with that person and click on the icon with “three vertical dots”, located on the top right of the screen.
3. Pressing the icon will open a tab with options, you must tap on “more” and there you will find the “block” option.

4. Once you do that, the person will be blocked and will never see the message you sent.
The problem with this option is that you must keep the person blocked for a period of at least 30 days. This is because the servers keep in their database any WhatsApp messages that have not been sent, for a time lapse of 30 days. If you unblock that person before the end of the 30 days, they will receive the message anyway. Therefore, if you want to keep in touch via Whatsapp with that person, this is not a recommended option.
Method 3: Works only if the Clock symbol shows on the message
The next trick to delete a whatsapp message that hasn’t been read requires some speed and skill but is perfect for those who realize they’ve made a mistake right after sending the message. We’re going to tell you step by step what you should do:
1. Make sure the clock appears in the message, the icon that indicates that the message hasn’t been sent yet.
2. Turn off your data, Wi-Fi and any possible internet connections.
3. Return to the chat with the message you want to delete and hold that message.
4. At the top of the screen you will see, among other icons, a trash bin. You must press that option.
5. You will get a message asking if you really want to delete that message. Choose “yes”.
6. Once you have deleted the message, you can reconnect your phone using the Wi-Fi or data connection that you had before. The message won’t appear again because it was never sent in the first place.
Developers also be working on new text formatting options, inspired by the Markdown language, which would display bold text between two asterisks. I hope this feature will let us delete texts without them reading. Something to add ? Say on comments.
