Can I delete messages or chats on WeChat?

Asked 2 years ago
Yes, users can delete messages or entire chats on WeChat. To delete individual messages, one must first locate the conversation in the chat list. Once the chat is opened, the user can press and hold on the specific message they wish to delete. A menu will appear, and the option to delete the message can be selected. This action will remove only that particular message from the chat history. If a user wants to delete an entire chat, they can navigate to the chat list, find the conversation they wish to remove, and then swipe left on that chat. This will reveal a "Delete" option, which can be tapped to remove the entire chat. It is important to note that deleting a chat does not inform the other party of this action. Additionally, it is wise to keep in mind that once chats or messages are deleted, they cannot be recovered, so users should be certain about their decision before proceeding. For more detailed instructions or additional information, it may be beneficial to explore the official WeChat website or to check the help section within the app itself.
