Start by opening the chat with the photo you want to delete, tap and hold on the image until a menu appears. Select “Delete for Everyone” and the photo will be removed from both your chat and the recipient’s chat.

However, keep in mind that this feature only works for photos that were shared within the last seven minutes, and it won’t work if the recipient has already downloaded the photo. For older photos or if the recipient has already saved the photo, you will need to ask them to delete it from their chat manually.
