3. If both options appear in the same menu, choose the one that matches your goal before you continue.

Can I delete messages sent by someone else?

1. The delete flow is intended for messages that you sent.
2. Check whether the target message was sent from your account.
3. If the message was sent by someone else, this delete flow usually does not apply.

Can I recover a message after I delete it?

1. Review the message before you confirm deletion.
2. If the content is important, save or record the key information first.
3. After deletion, do not plan around recovery, so it is better to confirm carefully before you proceed.
