HOW TO DELETE A VOICE MESSAGE
Voice messages can be deleted either before being played back by the recipient or after listening to them. In the first case, the user to whom you sent the voice will never know its content, in the second case, you will simply make it disappear from the chat history. Note: to delete voice sent from an Android device, you need to press and hold the message instead of scrolling to the left.
So if you regret a sent vowel, be sure to delete it before it’s heard.
