How to delete a sent gif in iPhone Messages?

I sent a gif to a friend that I want to delete. For some reason I cant delete the gif. I was able to delete other text in the thread, but the gif just keeps reappearing each time I delete it. I’ve tried multiple different ways of deleting it and nothing. Anyone have any tips?
