What happens if you delete a group chat in Messenger?

Answered by Antonio Sutton

When you delete a group chat in Messenger, it will no longer appear on your Messenger app. However, it’s important to note that the group chat may still appear on the Chat list of the other members involved in the conversation. This means that even though you have deleted the group chat from your own app, other members can still see and access the chat.

This lack of control over the visibility of the group chat can be a bit frustrating, especially if you wanted to completely remove all traces of the conversation. For example, if you were involved in a group chat that you no longer wanted to be a part of or if you wanted to keep the chat private, deleting it from your own Messenger app may not be sufficient.

It’s also worth mentioning that if any of the other group members send a message in the chat, the group chat will reappear on your Chat list. This means that even if you have deleted the group chat, it can still resurface if someone decides to continue the conversation.

To summarize, when you delete a group chat in Messenger, it will disappear from your own app, but it may still be visible to other members on their Chat list. You have no control over its visibility on other members’ devices, and if someone sends a message in the chat, it will reappear on your Chat list.

I hope this explanation clarifies what happens when you delete a group chat in Messenger. If you have any further questions or need more information, feel free to ask.
