Our Opinion
Once you delete a message, you can’t restore the messages. For this, you can hide your messages. You just need to click the Archive conversations on the Settings menu. All archived messages will be available on the Archived conversations. In Hangouts, you can’t delete a single message as you do in Whatsapp. You can only the entire conversation. Deleting a single message is available only on G-suite. Even though you delete all the messages, it will still appear on the other end of the user.
