How to delete a chat in WhatsApp for the other person without restoring it on iPhone - in detail?
To permanently delete a chat in WhatsApp for both yourself and the other person, you can follow these detailed steps on your iPhone:
- Open WhatsApp: Launch the WhatsApp application on your iPhone.
- Access Chat Settings: Navigate to the chat or group conversation that you want to delete. Tap on the contact name at the top of the screen to open the chat settings.
- Delete Chat: In the chat settings, scroll down and tap on "Delete Chat". You will be given two options: "Delete for Me" and "Delete for Everyone".

- Confirm Deletion: A confirmation dialog will appear, asking if you are sure you want to delete the chat. Confirm by tapping "Delete Chat" again.
- Wait for Confirmation: After you tap "Delete Chat", WhatsApp will send a request to delete the messages for everyone in the chat. Once the deletion is successful, you will see a message stating that the chat has been deleted.
Important Notes:
- The "Delete for Everyone" feature works only if the message was sent less than 13 hours ago and both you and the recipient are using the latest version of WhatsApp.
- Once a chat is deleted using the "Delete for Everyone" option, it cannot be restored. Make sure to back up any important information before proceeding with deletion.
- Deleting a chat will remove all messages, photos, videos, and other content from both your device and the devices of the participants in the conversation.
By following these steps, you can effectively delete a WhatsApp chat for everyone involved without the possibility of restoration on an iPhone.
