WhatsApp has become the most popular messaging app today, with over one billion users. With so many users, it can be difficult to keep track of old messages and conversations.
Fortunately, WhatsApp has an easy-to-use feature for deleting old messages permanently.
To delete messages permanently on WhatsApp, you must first open the chat window of the conversation you want to delete. From there, select the message or messages that you want to delete. Once selected, tap on the “Delete” icon in the upper right corner of the screen.
You will then be presented with two options: “Delete for Me” and “Delete for Everyone.” If you choose “Delete for Me,” only you will no longer be able to see the deleted messages; if you choose “Delete for Everyone,” everyone in the conversation will no longer be able to view them.
It is important to note that once a message has been deleted, it cannot be recovered in any way. Therefore, it is important to make sure that you are certain about deleting a message before doing so because it cannot be undone. Additionally, if someone else in a conversation deletes a message that was sent to you, then it will no longer appear on your device either.
IMPORTANT: Deleting a message from one device does not mean that it has been deleted from all devices linked to your account.
In Summary:
To delete old WhatsApp messages permanently, open the chat window of the conversation and select the desired messages. Tap on the “Delete” icon and choose either “Delete for Me” or “Delete for Everyone.” It is important to remember that once a message is deleted, it cannot be recovered in any way and may also not appear on other devices linked to your account.
Conclusion:
Deleting old WhatsApp messages can help keep conversations organized and ensure privacy by removing outdated information from chats. The process is simple and straightforward; however, one must remember that once a message is deleted it cannot be recovered in any way and may also not appear on other devices linked to your account.
