How to recall sent messages in WeChat

• On your smartphone or tablet, open your WeChat app.
• Next, send a test message to any of your contacts. Write your message on the text field and then press “Send”.
• Now that your message has been successfully sent, you will be given a maximum of 2 minutes to recall it. So within that time span, you must recall your message or else, it will permanently appear on your contact’s chat log.

• To recall a message, just long-press on it and once you see the message menu, select “Recall”. You’ll then get a notification that your message has been successfully recalled.
