What Happens When You Delete a Contact From WhatsApp?

When you delete a contact from WhatsApp, the contact is removed from your contacts list and you will no longer be able to send or receive messages from that person. However, the contact still has access to any messages sent before the contact was deleted. Additionally, if you have mutual contacts, the deleted contact may still be able to see any messages that are sent to those mutual contacts.

When a contact is deleted, all of the conversation history between you and that person remains on your device. This means that while you will no longer be able to send or receive messages, any conversations already had with that particular person are still accessible on your phone. However, if you delete a conversation with the deleted contact, then it will no longer be available.

Note: If you delete a contact who is using an Android phone, then they may still appear in your WhatsApp contacts list because their profile information is stored in Google’s servers. Therefore, even though they have been deleted from your contacts list on WhatsApp, their profile details may still appear when someone searches for them in WhatsApp.

In order to completely remove a contact from your WhatsApp list, you must delete both their profile and all of the conversations associated with them. Once this has been done, they will no longer appear in your contacts list or in any group chats that have been shared with them.

Conclusion: When you delete a contact from WhatsApp their conversation history remains on your device but they can no longer send or receive messages from you or view any group chats they were added to. Additionally, if they are using an Android phone their profile information may still appear when someone searches for them in WhatsApp unless both their profile and conversation history have been deleted.
