If you delete a chat in WhatsApp for yourself, will the other person see it - briefly?
If you delete a chat on WhatsApp for yourself, the other person will not see the deletion. However, they may notice that messages from that conversation no longer appear in their chat list if it was a group chat or if you were the only participant in an individual chat.
If you delete a chat in WhatsApp for yourself, will the other person see it - in detail?
When you delete a chat on WhatsApp for yourself, the other person will not see that you have deleted the chat. However, it's important to understand the implications of this action.
Deleting a chat from your device removes all messages, photos, videos, and voice messages associated with that conversation from your phone. This means you will no longer have access to any of the content in that chat on your end. Nevertheless, the other person's copy of the chat remains unaffected. They can continue to see all the messages and media exchanged within that conversation on their device as if nothing has changed.
It is also worth noting that deleting a chat does not remove any trace of the conversation from WhatsApp's servers. The data still exists, but it is no longer tied to your specific device. This action primarily clears up space on your phone and removes local access to the chat history.
In summary, while the other person will not see that you have deleted the chat, they will continue to have full access to all the messages and media shared in that conversation.
