How to completely clear the chat in WhatsApp for the other person - in detail?
To completely clear a chat in WhatsApp for both you and the other person, you can use the "Delete for Everyone" feature. This function allows you to remove messages from both your chat and the recipient's chat within seven minutes of sending them. Here’s how you can do it:
- Open WhatsApp: Start by opening the WhatsApp application on your device.
- Select the Chat: Navigate to the chat that contains the messages you want to delete. You can do this by tapping on the conversation from your chat list.
- Long Press on the Message: Locate the message you wish to delete and press firmly on it until a menu appears. This action is often referred to as a long press or a hard press.
- Select "Delete for Everyone": After holding down on the message, a pop-up menu will appear with various options. Among these, select "Delete for Everyone." This option will remove the message from both your chat and the recipient's chat.
- Confirm Deletion: You may be prompted to confirm that you want to delete the message. Tap "Delete" to finalize the action.
- Check Status: After deleting, you can check the status of the message by looking for a notification that says "You deleted this message" in your chat. This indicates that the message has been successfully removed from both chats.
Important Notes:
- Time Limit: The "Delete for Everyone" feature is only available within seven minutes after sending the message. After this time frame, you will not be able to delete messages for everyone, and they can only be deleted from your own device.
- Group Chats: In group chats, using "Delete for Everyone" will remove the message from everyone's chat, not just the recipient’s.
- Media Files: Deleting a message with media (like photos or videos) will also delete that media from your phone's gallery.
By following these steps, you can ensure that unwanted messages are completely cleared from both your chat and the other person's chat in WhatsApp.
