Android

Android device owners using the Viber app for this mobile OS can use one of several methods to delete received and sent messages. The choice of the most suitable one depends on whether you need to erase a separate element of correspondence, a dialogue with a specific user, or all the information accumulated in the messenger. nine0003

Option 1: Some or all messages from a single chat

simple and fast. At the same time, there is a choice of what exactly to delete - a single message, several of them, or the entire chat history.

One message

1. Open Viber for Android, go to a conversation containing a more unnecessary or unwanted message.
2. Long press in the message area to call up a menu of possible actions with it. We select item "Delete from me" , after which the correspondence element will disappear without a trace from the chat history.
3. In addition to deleting one sent (but not received!) message only from your own device in Viber for Android, it is possible to delete information from the interlocutor - in the menu of options available for execution, there is item "Delete everywhere" - tap on it, confirm the request received and as a result, the correspondence element will disappear from the dialog, visible to the recipient as well.

Multiple messages

2. By tapping on the areas of received and sent messages, select those that will be deleted. Tap on the icon "Trash" that appears at the bottom of the screen and click "OK" in the window with the question of permanently deleting the selected entries.
3. That's all - the selected elements of the correspondence are erased from the device's memory and are no longer displayed in the dialogue history. nine0006

All information from chat

1. We call the dialog options menu, from which we need to delete all elements of the correspondence.
2. Select "Clear chat" .
3. Click "CLEAR" in the pop-up window, as a result of which the history of correspondence with an individual Viber member will be deleted from the device, and the chat area will become completely empty.

3. Cleaning will be completed, after which the messenger will look like it was launched on the device for the first time and no correspondence has yet been carried out in it.

iOS

The list of features available in Viber for iOS is almost identical to that of the above-described Android messenger client, but there is no possibility to delete several items of correspondence at the same time. iPhone users can delete one message, clear a single chat from information completely, and also delete all conversations conducted through the Viber messenger along with their content at a time. nine0003

Option 1: One or all messages from an individual conversation

Individual chat items in Viber for iOS, regardless of their content, are deleted as follows.

One message

1. Open Viber on iPhone, switch to the tab "Chats" and go into a dialogue with an unnecessary or unwanted message.
2. On the chat screen, we find the element of correspondence to be deleted, by long pressing in its area we call up the menu, where we touch "More" . Then the actions are two-way depending on the type of message:

All information from the dialog

1. Being on the screen of the chat being cleared, tap on its title. In the menu that opens, select "Information and settings" . You can also move to the next step by sliding the dialog screen to the left.
2. Scroll down the opened list of options. Press "Clear chat" and confirm your intentions by touching "Delete all messages" at the bottom of the screen.

   After that, the dialog will be empty - all information previously contained in it is destroyed.

Option 2: All correspondence

If you want or need to return Viber for iPhone to the state, as if there was no correspondence through the application at all, we act as suggested in the following instructions.

Attention! As a result of the implementation of the recommendations below, the irrevocable (if there is no backup) removal from the messenger of absolutely all correspondence, as well as the titles of all dialogs and group chats ever initiated through Viber! nine0003

1. Tap "More" at the bottom of the screen, being on any tab of the Viber client for iOS. Open "Settings" and go to section "Calls and messages" .
2. Touch "Clear message history" , and then confirm the intention to delete all correspondence, the history of which is saved in the messenger and on the device, by clicking "Clear" in the request window.

   Upon completion of the above section "Chats" in the application is empty - all messages are deleted along with the titles of the conversations in which information was exchanged.

Windows

In the Viber application for PC, which is essentially just a "mirror" of the mobile version of the messenger, the ability to delete messages is provided, but, it should be noted, it is somewhat limited. Of course, you can go through the operation of synchronization between the Viber client on a smartphone / tablet and the computer version - by deleting the message or their combination on the mobile device using the methods described above, we essentially carry out this action in the clone application operating in the Windows environment. Or we can act according to the following instructions. nine0003

Option 1: One message

1. Open Viber for Windows and go to the dialog where there is unnecessary or unwanted information.
2. We right-click in the area of ​​the element to be deleted, which leads to the appearance of a menu with possible actions.
3. Further actions are two-way:

Option 2: All messages

You won't be able to completely clear the chat from your computer, but you can delete the conversation itself along with the content. To do this, we act as it seems more convenient:

1. In an open dialog whose history you want to clear, right-click on an area free of messages. Select item "Delete" in the menu that appears.

   Next, confirm the request by clicking on the button "Delete" - the title of the conversation will disappear from the list of available messages on the left of the messenger window, and at the same time all information received / transmitted within the chat will be erased.

2. Another method to kill a single dialog and its history at the same time: nine0004
3. Open the deleted chat and call the menu "Conversation" by clicking on the button of the same name at the top of the Viber window. We select here "Delete" .
4. We confirm the messenger request and get the same result as after following the previous paragraph of the recommendations - deleting the conversation title from the list of chats and destroying all messages received / transmitted within it.
   

As you can see, regardless of the operating system in which the Viber client application is operated, deleting messages from it should not cause difficulties for a service member. This feature can be activated at any time, and its implementation requires only a few taps on the screen of a mobile device from Android and iOS users, or a couple of mouse clicks from Windows desktop / laptop users to communicate via messenger. nine0003
