How to delete the entire conversation with someone in WhatsApp - in detail?

To delete an entire conversation with someone on WhatsApp, you can follow these detailed steps:

1. Open WhatsApp: First, launch the WhatsApp application on your device. Ensure that you are connected to the internet as this process requires it.
2. Navigate to the Chat List: Once in the app, go to the chat list where all your conversations are displayed. This is usually the first screen you see when you open WhatsApp.
3. Select the Conversation: Find and tap on the conversation with the contact whose messages you want to delete. This will open the chat window.
4. Open Chat Settings: Within the chat window, look for the three vertical dots (⋮) located at the top right corner of the screen. These are the chat settings or options menu. Tap on these dots.
5. Delete Chat: A dropdown menu will appear with several options. Select "Delete chat" from this list. Depending on your device, this option might also be labeled as "More" > "Delete chat".
6. Confirm Deletion: WhatsApp will prompt you to confirm the deletion of the chat. You will see two options: "Cancel" and "Delete". Tap on "Delete" to proceed with the action.

7. Media and Data Options: After tapping "Delete", you may be given additional options regarding media and data associated with the conversation. These could include:

   • Keep Media: This option allows you to keep all the photos, videos, and other files sent within the chat on your device.
   • Delete Media from My Phone: Selecting this will remove all the media files related to the conversation from your phone's storage as well.
8. Finalize Deletion: Choose the appropriate option based on your preferences and then confirm your selection. The entire conversation, along with any associated data (if you chose to delete it), will be permanently removed from your WhatsApp.

Important Notes:

• Once a chat is deleted, it cannot be recovered through conventional means within WhatsApp.
• Deleting a chat only removes the messages and related media from your device. The other participant in the conversation will still have access to all the messages and files unless they manually delete them as well.
• If you are using WhatsApp on multiple devices (e.g., both a phone and a tablet), deleting a chat on one device will not automatically delete it on another. You would need to perform the deletion process on each device separately.
