Delete (revoke) a message DELETE

Deletes a message from a WUTS-connected chat. With deleteType 'for_everyone' the message is revoked on WhatsApp for all participants (subject to WhatsApp's time limit); with 'for_me' the call succeeds locally without revoking on the server.

Download inbound message media GET

Returns the binary payload of an inbound WhatsApp media message. WUTS serves warm-cached bytes when available and otherwise re-downloads the media on demand over the live whatsmeow socket, requesting retransmission from the sender when the WhatsApp CDN copy has expired.
