Clearing a chat allows you to clear all messages inside a chat. The chat will still be listed in the Chats tab.
Clear an individual or group chat
- In the Chats tab, swipe right on the individual or group chat you want to clear.
- Tap More > Clear chat.
- Tap Clear all messages.
Clear all chats at once
- Go to WhatsApp Settings > Chats > Clear all chats.
- Enter your phone number > tap Clear all chats.
Media will be deleted from your phone if you select Also delete media received in chats from the device gallery. This won’t remove you from a group or remove the chat from the Chats tab.
You can restore the chat history from a cleared chat if your latest backup occurred prior to clearing a chat. You will lose any chat history that occurred after the latest backup.
