No, deleting a message on Android does not unsend it. Unfortunately, once you’ve sent the message, it can’t be completely undone. However, you can take steps to ensure your messages are more secure before sending them. I would recommend turning on end-to-end encryption if available, using an encrypted messaging app if possible, and double-checking your message to make sure it says what you intended before sending it.

What happens when you delete a text message on Android?
When you delete a text message on Android, it will be removed from your device but could still exist in a backup. To ensure that the text message is permanently deleted, you should take the following steps:
1. Go to settings and locate the app where the text message was stored (for example, Messages).
2. Select “Manage Storage” or “Clear Data” and confirm that you want to erase all data associated with this app.
3. Confirm that you want to delete any backups associated with this app as well.
4. To further protect yourself, go into your Google account and clear out any synced messages that may have been backed up there as well.
It is important to note that even if these steps are taken, some third-party apps may keep copies of deleted messages stored on their servers for some time after deletion has occurred. It is therefore important to research the data retention policies of any messaging services before using them so that you can better understand how long they keep records of sent messages for and what their policies are regarding erasing such content from their systems upon request.
Does deleting a message on message Unsend it?
No, deleting a message in a messaging app does not unsend it. Once the message has been sent, it can be seen by the recipient regardless of whether or not you delete the message from your end. If you need to unsend a message, you would need to use an app that provides this feature such as Facebook Messenger’s "Unsend" option. Depending on the particular platform and messaging app, there may also be other steps you need to take in order to successfully unsend a message.
Can I delete a delivered text?
Yes, you can delete a delivered text. To do this, open the message thread of the text you want to delete and find the sent message. Then, long press on the message and select "Delete" from the pop-up menu. If you are using an iPhone and iMessage, you will also see an option that says "Delete for Everyone". This feature allows you to delete a sent message from both your device and the recipient’s device.
How do I delete text messages on both sides?
To delete text messages on both sides, you will need to take the following steps:
1. Open the messaging app on your device.
2. Select the conversation containing the message you would like to delete.
3. Long press on the message you want to delete until a pop-up menu appears.
4. Select “Delete” from the menu and confirm that you want to permanently remove it from your device as well as your contact’s device.
5. If necessary, repeat Steps 3-4 for each individual message or conversation that needs deleting.
6. Once completed, all of your deleted messages should be removed from view on both devices in use by you and your contact/sender(s).
It may also help to ask all participants in a conversation if they are willing to delete their copies of any messages before moving forward with deletion—this way, everyone is aware of what is happening and can agree before anything is removed permanently from either device in use by them or yourself (i).
Does deleting a text message delete it on both sides?
No, deleting a text message only deletes it on the sender’s side. The recipient can still view the message unless they also delete it. To ensure that a text message is deleted on both sides, both parties must delete the message from their devices. Additionally, messages sent over certain applications may remain stored on servers, so even if you delete them from your device they could still be accessed by other means.
Will deleting a message deliver it?
No, deleting a message will not deliver it. The only way to ensure that a message is delivered is to send the message to its intended recipient. If you have already sent the message and would like to prevent it from being delivered, you should contact the recipient directly and ask them not to open or read the message. Additionally, if applicable, you may contact your email provider for help in preventing delivery of a specific message.
Does delete on message delete both sides?
Yes, delete on a message should delete the message for both parties. However, if you are using a third-party messaging service like WhatsApp or Telegram, it is important to make sure that both parties have enabled the setting that allows messages to be deleted from both sides. To do this:
1. Open the app and go to Settings > Privacy & Security.
2. Look for an option labeled “Delete Messages” or something similar
3. Enable the setting, which may require confirmation from both sides of the conversation
4. Test out deleting a message to verify that it has been deleted from both sides
