How to delete the entire conversation in WhatsApp for the other person - in detail?
To delete an entire conversation on WhatsApp for both you and the other person, follow these steps:
- Open WhatsApp: Launch the WhatsApp application on your device.
- Access the Chat: Navigate to the chat or group conversation that you want to delete.
- Go to the Chat Settings: For Android users, tap on the three dots (⋮) in the top-right corner of the screen. For iPhone users, tap on the contact's name at the top of the chat.

Delete for Everyone (Optional): To ensure that the message is deleted from both your and the recipient's devices, you must use the "Delete for everyone" feature within 7 minutes of sending the message. However, this feature only applies to individual messages, not entire conversations. Here’s how:
- Tap and hold on the message you want to delete.
- Select the trash can icon at the top of the screen.
- Choose "Delete for everyone" from the pop-up menu.
- Backup Considerations: Be aware that deleting a chat will also remove any media or files associated with it, such as photos and videos. If you want to keep these, consider saving them to your device before deleting the conversation.
- Group Chats: Deleting a group chat works similarly, but remember that all members of the group can see when someone has been removed or leaves the group.
By following these steps, you can effectively manage and delete conversations in WhatsApp, ensuring your privacy and maintaining control over your communication history.
