What Happens When You Delete Chat History on WhatsApp?

When you delete your chat history on WhatsApp, it means you are removing the entire conversation and any attachments associated with it. This includes messages, photos, videos, voice notes, and other files that were shared in the chat.

When you delete a chat history on WhatsApp, it cannot be recovered. Once it is gone, there is no way to retrieve the information. This is important to remember if there are any sensitive messages that were shared in the conversation as they will be gone forever.

You can delete an individual message or a whole conversation at once.

To delete an individual message, open up the conversation and tap and hold on the message you want to remove. Then select “delete” from the options that appear on your screen. If you want to delete an entire conversation, open up the chat and tap the three dots at the top-right corner of your screen. Select “delete conversation” from the list of options.

It is important to note that deleting a chat history does not mean other members of the chat will also have their messages deleted. If someone else in the group has previously backed up their chat history or stored messages elsewhere, then those messages will still be available even after a deletion occurs.

Conclusion:

Deleting a chat history on WhatsApp means that all messages and attachments associated with it will be gone forever and cannot be recovered. Individual messages can be deleted or whole conversations can be deleted at once. However, other members of a group may still have access to messages if they were previously backed up or stored elsewhere.
