Requirements Before Recalling Messages on GBWhatsApp

Before trying to recall a message, there are a few things you need to confirm：

  • Make sure you’re using GBWhatsApp version 17.50 or higher. You can check your app’s version by going to “Settings > About”—older versions might not support the recall feature.
  • Keep in mind that the recall function only works within 2 days of sending the message. If more than 2 days have passed, you won’t be able to recall it.
  • Ensure you have “Send/Edit Messages” permission in the group. If the recall option is grayed out, it’s likely because you don’t have this permission, and you’ll need to ask the group admin for access.

Step-by-Step Recall Process for GBWhatsApp Group Chats

  1. Opening the GBWhatsApp group chat where the message you want to recall is located. If the chat is long and you’re having trouble finding the message, use the search icon to speed things up.
  2. Once you’ve found the message, long – press it and wait for a pop – up menu to appear. From this menu, select the “Recall” option—its icon can be a reverse arrow or a trash can, depending on your GBWhatsApp version.
  3. When you tap “Recall,” you’ll be given two choices: “Recall for everyone” and “Recall for me only.” It’s crucial to select “Recall for everyone” because “Recall for me only” will only hide the message from your own view, not from other group members.
  4. After choosing, confirm the prompt that appears. Once confirmed, the message will be replaced with “This message was recalled” for all members of the group.

Tips for Successful GBWhatsApp Group Message Recall

For the best results with the recall feature, keep these tips in mind. Most photos and videos can be recalled, but if a media file is over 100MB, the recall might fail. Also, the sooner you recall a message, the fewer group members will have a chance to see it—so it’s recommended to recall the message immediately after noticing an error.Additionally, always double – check which recall option you’re selecting to avoid mixing up “Recall for everyone” and “Recall for me only.”

What to Do After Recalling a Message in GBWhatsApp Group

After successfully recalling a message, take a moment to verify that it now shows “recalled” in the chat. If the original message contains incorrect information, send a corrected version to the group to avoid any confusion. If the recalled message was potentially confusing or sensitive, you can also send a brief note to the group explaining that you recalled a wrong message and, if appropriate, provide the correct details. This actually helps maintain clear communication within the group.

Conclusion

Using GBWhatsApp’s group chat recall feature is straightforward as long as you follow the steps and check the necessary prerequisites. Using the feature responsibly—overusing it can cause confusion among group members. Meanwhile, remember to back up your chats regularly by going to “Settings > Chats > Backup chats” to prevent data loss and ensure a smooth experience when using features like message recall.
