How to delete messages on LINE chat room
You can delete messages which you sent to someone by mistake from your LINE chat room.
Open chat room
Tap “V” icon at the top right
Tap “Edit Messages”
Tap “Delete Messages”
Tick the messages which you want to delete
Tap “Delete (2)”
If you do not need all the chat history, selecting and deleting a message one by one might bother you.
In that case, you can delete all the chat history at once.
The settings is quite easy.
Let me show you how.
Open “Chats & Voice Calls” from “More” > “Settings”
Tap “Clear Chat History”
As the following Pop-Up says, once you clear chat history, you will not be able to get it back.
If you agree with it, tap “Remove”
It is also possible to delete stickers
Open chat room
Tap “V” icon at the top right
Tap “Edit Messages”
Tap “Delete Messages”
Tick the sticker you want to delete
Tap “Delete (2)”
Be careful! You cannot delete messages from the recipient’s LINE chat room
If you sent a message to someone by mistake, you can delete it.
However, you can only delete the message on your device.
Even if you send a message on LINE and delete it, the recipient will still be able to read it.
You cannot cancel or delete messages that you have already sent.
Check carefully if you are sending a right message to the right person.
You can only delete messages on your LINE chat room
Deleting messages on LINE chat room is for organizing your LINE “Chats”.
You should always keep in mind that you cannot cancel or delete messages once they have been sent.
Deleting messages looks like there is no point, though you can hide the fact that you sent the messages by deleting them.
Many users may wonder its effectiveness because you cannot delete messages on the recipient’s side.
Is it really so?
However, certainly there is occasion where you will thank to the function.
- Hiding the evidence of cheating or affairs
- Hiding secrets between you and the recipient
- Hiding confidential information at your workplace
Deleting messages for such important information will work, though it has nothing to do with most of people.
That is why the main purpose of deleting messages for now is organizing your LINE “Chats”.
There are rumors that we are not going to be able to delete messages in near future.
It is not what LINE Corporation officially announced, but it is true that some people have been in a trouble because of the function.
How was today’s topic?
I have explained how to delete messages on LINE chat room.
Many functions on LINE only affect your side, and it does not affect recipients. Although, many users tend to misunderstand that those functions affect both themselves and recipients.
As I explained earlier, deleting messages only affect messages on your LINE.
Messages are not something you and the recipient share.
So you have no authority to delete messages shown on recipient’s LINE chat room.
Check carefully before you send a message to someone.
When one clear chat history, does it remove only the one chat room (contact),
or all of the chat history with every contacts and groups will be deleted?
Hi Hi, what if I delete the message before the recipient online, will the recipient still be able to receive the message?
HOW DO U DELETE FROM LINE PC THO
I need to delete a chat on the chat room where some things were said that I should not have said, how can I do that, I have looked at the instructions and I don’t find the top part that I can click on the V to get started, pleas help me!
I wanted to deleted all chats from some groupchat. But when I follow the steps above it didn’t work! It works for some groupchats (they’re deleted completely and I’m glad!), but it didn’t for some others (it makes me frustated cause I hate keeping nonsense trash on my device). It always shows notification box showing the ‘Error’.
I tried to left those groupchat, but it just that. I left (but the weird thing there’s no notice that I left. It seems like I’m still a part of the groupchat and I just can’t see the new chats). But the groupchat still there, the chats still there. I still can’t delete those chats.
What’s the cause? and what can I do to delete those chats?
Thankyou!
