WhatsApp delete doesn't delete

A couple of months ago Whatsapp introduced a "delete for everyone" feature allowing the sender to delete a message they sent with-in 7 minutes. While this will delete the message in whatsapp, it doesn't delete the message from the receivers phone and can still be read, if the person receiving it wants to find it.

If you want to read deleted messages you can do so from your notification register/log where the first 100 characters of the message will be saved (I don't think I have ever sent a whatsapp message that is longer than 100 characters). This works if you are using Android Nougat (Android 7.0) which I think is currently the most common operating system on Android phones, I haven't checked it on Android Oreo (Android 8) as I haven't download it yet.

If you don't know how to access your notification register/log I'm sure it will be explained via a google search or there are free apps available for download.
