We all have moments when we wish to delete a conversation in WhatsApp, but few of us know that it is possible to do this permanently. We all know that deleting messages will remove them from the chat history, but these messages can still be accessed from other devices or by restoring the backup. So, if you want to completely erase the conversation from your device and any associated backups, here are some steps on how to do it:
1. Open the WhatsApp Application
The first step is to open up the WhatsApp app on your device. Once opened, select the chat you want to delete permanently.
2. Select Messages for Deletion
Once you have selected the chat, tap and hold on any of the messages in that conversation and select “Delete”. You can also select multiple messages by tapping and holding each message one at a time.
3. Confirm Permanent Deletion
Once you have selected all of the messages you wish to delete permanently, tap on “Delete Forever” which will be located at the bottom right corner of your screen. This will permanently remove these conversations from your device without leaving any trace.
4. Delete Chat History
Now that you have deleted all of your desired messages, go back to your main chats list and select “Delete Chat” located at the top right corner of your screen. This will delete all of the other conversations associated with this contact as well as their profile picture.
Conclusion:
These steps should help you manage and permanently delete any unwanted WhatsApp chats quickly and easily from your device. It is important to note that deleting these chats does not mean they are gone forever; they can still be accessed through backups or other devices where they were sent or received.
