Hi all,
Im an Independent living skills specialist with the CNIB in Ontario and was wondering if anyone could help me and a client. My client and I are doing a lesson on deleting items from a whatsapp! chat, however as you may well know that the double tap and hold, then finding the pop up bar that comes up and scrolling through the options until you get delete. my client is having issues finding the selection bar to delete as it sometimes pops up below where he taps and above, I was wondering if any of you have any solutions or easier way of deleting a specific message within the convo without deleting the entire convo. Thanks all, I have used this site to troubleshoot in the past and all suggestions (constructive) is greatly appreciated.

Double tap and hold on the message, then tap once with four fingers on the bottom of the screen. Double tap on show more items. Then flick left once, and you should get to the delete button. Hope this helps.
