How to delete a conversation in WhatsApp for the other person forever - in detail?

Deleting a conversation in WhatsApp permanently for both parties involves more than just deleting messages from your device. WhatsApp does not provide a direct way to completely delete conversations from another person's phone, but there are methods you can employ to achieve this effect:

1. Delete the Conversation on Your Device:

   • Open WhatsApp and go to the conversation you want to delete.
   • Tap and hold the conversation until a menu appears at the top of your screen.
   • Select "Delete" from the menu. You will be given two options: "Delete for me" and "Delete for everyone".
   • Choose "Delete for everyone". This will remove the messages from both your device and the recipient's device. Note that this option is only available within 1 hour, 8 minutes, and 16 seconds of sending the message.

2. Block the Contact:

   • After deleting the conversation, you can block the contact to prevent them from seeing your online status or any future messages you send.
   • Go to the contact's profile in WhatsApp.
   • Tap on "Block" and confirm your decision.

3. Delete Media Files:

   • If you have shared media files (photos, videos, etc.) with the contact, delete these files from your device to ensure they are not backed up or synced elsewhere.
   • Go to your device's file manager or gallery app.
   • Locate and delete any WhatsApp media files associated with the conversation.

4. Revoke Access (for Groups):

   • If the conversation is within a group, you can leave the group to remove access to future messages.
   • Open the group chat in WhatsApp.
   • Tap on the group name at the top of your screen.
   • Scroll down and tap on "Exit Group". Confirm your decision.

5. Backup and Restore Settings:

   • Ensure that the conversation is not included in any backups you might have.
   • Go to WhatsApp settings > Chats > Chat Backup.
   • Check if there are any recent backups containing the conversation and delete them if necessary.
