How to delete messages in WhatsApp from the interlocutor forever - in detail?
Deleting messages in WhatsApp from both your device and the recipient's device can be a complex process, as WhatsApp does not provide a straightforward option to permanently delete messages from the recipient's phone. However, there are some methods you can try:
-
Delete for Everyone: This is the most reliable method to ensure that a message is deleted from both your device and the recipient's device. To use this feature, follow these steps:
- Open WhatsApp and go to the chat containing the message you want to delete.
- Press and hold on the message until the menu appears.
- Tap the 'Delete' icon at the top of the screen.
- Select 'Delete for Everyone'. This will remove the message from both your phone and the recipient's phone, provided they haven't seen it yet or saved it.
-
Clear Chat History: If you want to delete an entire conversation with a contact, you can use the Clear Chat option:
- Uninstall WhatsApp: Uninstalling WhatsApp from your device will not delete messages from the recipient's phone. Messages sent before uninstallation will remain on the recipient's device unless they have also deleted them or cleared the chat.
- Block the Contact: Blocking a contact will prevent them from seeing your online status, profile photo, and any updates you make to your profile picture or about section. However, this action does not delete messages sent before blocking.
