When you clear your chat history on WhatsApp, all of the messages that you have sent and received in the conversation are permanently deleted from both your device and the recipient’s device. This means that even if the recipient has backed up their conversations, the messages won’t be included in the backup.
It’s important to note that when you delete a chat history, this does not mean that you have blocked or unfriended someone on WhatsApp. It simply means that all conversations up to a certain point in time have been removed from both devices.
When you clear chat on WhatsApp, it also removes any associated media files such as photos or videos. This includes any images or videos sent within the conversation, as well as any images or videos that were sent as attachments. If these media files were downloaded to your device prior to clearing the chat history, they will remain on your device unless they are manually deleted.
Clearing a chat history can be done on both Android and iOS devices. On Android devices, open up the conversation you want to delete, tap and hold down on any message until a menu appears and then select “Clear Chat”. On an iOS device, tap on the contact name at the top of the conversation page and then select “Clear Chat” from the options menu.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, when you clear chat on WhatsApp it permanently deletes all of your messages from both your device and the recipient’s device. Any associated media files such as photos or videos will also be deleted unless they were downloaded prior to clearing the chat history. Clearing a chat history can be done with ease on both Android and iOS devices by following simple instructions.
