Can I delete messages or chats on WeChat?

Asked a year ago
Yes, you can delete messages or chats on WeChat. WeChat offers a built-in feature that allows users to delete individual messages or entire chat histories. To delete a specific message, you can simply press and hold the message, then choose the "Delete" option. If you wish to delete an entire chat history, go to the chat list, swipe left on the conversation you want to delete, and select "Delete." It is important to note that deleting messages or chats is only applicable to your own device, and the other party involved will still have their copy of the messages. Additionally, if you want to ensure that your deleted messages are permanently erased, you can enable the "Secure Chat" mode in WeChat settings.
