III. FAQs
Why can't I recall a message?
It could be due to the following reasons:
  • Administrators have decided not to allow members to recall messages.
  • Administrators have set a time limit for message recalls, and you have exceeded that limit.
How much time do I have to re-edit a recalled message?
You can re-edit a message within two minutes of recalling it.
If I recall a message before the other party reads it, will they see that I recalled it?
Yes.
Does the organization administrator have permission to recall messages sent by members?
No, an organization administrator cannot recall messages sent by members. Only the group owner or group administrator of a specific group chat has the permission to recall messages sent by members within that chat.
