Thanks for your help

I can't delete sms on samsung S3 mobile
I would like to know if the sms messages sent can be deleted so that the recipient can no longer see them. Thanks
-
Unfortunately not .. once sent it is no longer possible to "withdraw them"
That is, even if they are hidden, does the person know that they have arrived?
-
On this I would not know how to answer you. You have to download the apps and try them to understand how they work
Is it possible as soon as you receive a text message to have a program or something that automatically deletes itself without even entering it?
-
No, there are no apps that automatically delete received sms. There are apps that can hide them somewhere… on Google Play just do a search to find such apps.
-
So if they arrive at you, they leave the sound of the notification anyway and you know that they have arrived? So then it's up to you to get in or not?
-
The red circle marked the sms as an error in sending, so I deleted them, will we arrive anyway?
-
If there was an error in sending then they will never reach the recipient
-
Ok, thank you!
-
It is possible to permanently delete text messages without using the PC, only with your mobile phone.
-
No, it's not possible
-
I have deleted undelivered sms, will they still reach the recipient?
-
How do you know they haven't been delivered yet? In any case, even by canceling them, the sending has now been made and they are therefore awaiting delivery. However, if the recipient has the phone turned off for a few days then the text message could expire and never be delivered.

Hello,
I turned on an old phone that is not in use now .. and I found some text messages with dates updated to this year .. is it possible?
Hi how is it possible that I delete the messages and they reappear after 3 months with different dates?

Maybe they are synced to Google and then get put back on the phone every now and then.

I would like to know if manually deleted messages from android phone can be recovered or not.
If so, how can they be permanently eliminated?
Thank you

Yes, manually deleted messages can be recovered.
To permanently delete them, they must be overwritten in some way. A software that helps to do this is this:
