What happens when I delete a conversation?
When you delete an entire conversation, it is removed from your chat list only. The other user will still have access to the conversation and any messages or photos that were exchanged.
Because of this, deleting a conversation is best used when you simply want to clean up your own inbox.
If you want to prevent the other user from contacting you and hide the chat for both sides, blocking the profile is a better option. When you block someone, the chat becomes hidden for both of you, and neither of you will be able to view or message each other.
What happens when I delete a message?
If you delete an individual message from a conversation, the message will be removed for both you and the other user.
In place of the original message, both users will see "This message has been deleted."
Please note that deleting individual messages may be limited. If you want unlimited access, become a member.
