How to Delete Text Messages on iPhone for Both Sides: Step-by-Step Guide
If you want to delete text messages on your iPhone that will be removed from both sides of the conversation, here are the steps you can follow:
1. Open the Messages app on your iPhone.
2. Find the conversation that you want to delete.
3. Swipe left on the conversation to reveal the options menu.
4. Tap on “Delete”.
5. A pop-up will appear asking you to confirm if you want to delete the conversation. Tap on “Delete Conversation”.
6. The entire conversation, including all messages and attachments, will be deleted from your device and the recipient’s device.
It’s important to note that this method will only delete the conversation from your device and the recipient’s device. If there are other devices involved in the conversation, such as an iPad or Mac, the conversation will still be available on those devices.
If you want to permanently delete the conversation from all devices, you can use the “Delete All” option in the Messages settings. Here’s how:
1. Go to Settings on your iPhone.
2. Scroll down and tap on “Messages”.
3. Scroll down to the “Message History” section.
4. Tap on “Keep Messages”.
5. Select “30 Days” or “1 Year” to automatically delete messages after that period of time.
By selecting one of these options, your iPhone will delete all messages older than the selected period. This will permanently delete the conversation from all devices, including your iPhone, the recipient’s device, and any other devices involved in the conversation.
