How to delete a conversation with WhatsApp for both parties - in detail?
To delete a conversation on WhatsApp for both parties, follow these detailed steps:
- Open WhatsApp: Launch the WhatsApp application on your mobile device. Ensure that you have the latest version of the app to access all features.
- Navigate to Chats: Tap on the "Chats" tab at the bottom of the screen. This will display a list of all your conversations.
- Select the Chat: Find and tap on the chat you want to delete. This will open the conversation.
- Open Chat Settings: For Android users, tap on the three dots (⋮) in the top right corner of the screen. For iOS users, tap on the contact's name at the top of the screen.
- Delete Chat: In the menu that appears, select "Delete chat". You will be prompted to confirm your decision. Tap "Delete" again to proceed.
- Confirm Deletion for Both Parties: A new window will appear with two options: "Delete for me" and "Delete for everyone". Tap on "Delete for everyone". This action will remove the conversation from both your device and the other party's device.
- Wait for Confirmation: WhatsApp will now attempt to delete the messages for both parties. You will see a message stating that the deletion was successful or failed. If it fails, you may need to retry later as there could be connectivity issues.
Important Notes:
- Deleting a chat for everyone only works if the other party has not seen the messages or if they have an active internet connection at the time of deletion.
- Once deleted, neither you nor the other party will be able to retrieve the conversation. Make sure this is what you want before proceeding.
- Deleting a chat for everyone does not delete any media files (photos, videos) from your device's gallery or camera roll. You need to manually delete these if desired.
By following these steps, you can effectively remove a conversation from both your and the other party's WhatsApp accounts.
