Tips

  • Deletion behavior in WhatsApp depends on time elapsed — older messages may still be visible to the recipient.
  • Clear conversation removes all messages on the Clapvo side. Act fast if you need to retract something sensitive.
  • If the Delete or Clear option is not visible, your role does not have the required permission. Ask an admin to update your role under Account → Roles.
