How to delete a conversation in WhatsApp for the other person - in detail?
To delete a conversation in WhatsApp for both parties, you can follow these detailed steps:
- Open WhatsApp: Start by launching the WhatsApp application on your device.
- Go to Settings: For Android users, tap on the three dots (⋮) at the top right corner of the screen and select "Settings". On iOS, tap on "Settings" at the bottom right corner of the screen.
- Navigate to Storage and Data: Within the settings menu, look for an option labeled "Storage and data" or similar. This section will provide you with insights into your WhatsApp storage usage.
- Review Storage Usage: Here, you can see a list of all chats arranged by the amount of storage space they occupy. This includes both individual chats and group conversations.
- Select the Chat to Delete: Scroll through the list and locate the conversation you wish to delete. Tap on it to select.
- Delete the Chat: Once selected, you will see options to either "Free up space" or "Delete chat". Tapping on "Delete chat" will initiate the process of deleting the conversation from both your device and the other person's device.
- Confirm Deletion: A confirmation dialog will appear asking if you are sure you want to delete the chat. Confirm your decision by tapping "OK".
- Complete the Process: WhatsApp will begin deleting the chat. This process may take a few moments, depending on the size of the conversation and the speed of your internet connection. Once completed, the chat will be permanently removed from both devices.
It is important to note that once a chat is deleted using this method, it cannot be recovered. Additionally, any media files such as photos or videos shared within the chat will also be deleted. If you simply want to delete the chat from your device while keeping it on the other person's device, you can use the "Delete for me" option instead of the full deletion process outlined above.
By following these steps, you ensure that both parties in the conversation no longer have access to the chat history, providing a clean slate moving forward.
