How to delete a conversation in WhatsApp for both interlocutors - in detail?
To delete a conversation in WhatsApp for both interlocutors, you need to follow these detailed steps:
- Open the Conversation: Start by opening the chat or group conversation that you want to delete.
- Access Chat Settings: On Android, tap on the three dots (⋮) at the top right corner of the screen. On iPhone, tap on the contact's name at the top of the chat.
- Delete for Me: In the menu that appears, select "More" or "Delete Chat". You will see two options: "Delete for me" and "Delete for everyone". Tap on "Delete for me". This will delete the conversation from your device only.
- Delete for Everyone: To delete the conversation for both you and the other person, select the "Delete for everyone" option instead. This action will remove the chat from both devices involved in the conversation. Please note that this feature is only available within seven minutes of sending a message. After this time frame, you can only delete the conversation for yourself.
- Confirm Deletion: A confirmation dialog will appear asking if you are sure you want to delete the chat. Tap "Delete" to confirm your decision.
- Verify Deletion: Once the deletion is complete, you should no longer see the chat in your WhatsApp conversation list. The other person involved in the conversation will also no longer have access to that chat on their device.
It's important to understand that while "Delete for everyone" removes the messages from both parties' devices, it does not guarantee complete removal of data from WhatsApp's servers or backups made by either party. Always ensure that sensitive information is handled with care and consider other security measures if needed.
