Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Will deleting a person’s whole chat, delete those chats from other person’s account too?
Ans. You cannot really delete every chat from both the sides. If you delete the whole chat of anyone from your DM list, it will still remain in their account. But, if you ‘Unsend’ any of your text, it will be removed from your chats and from theirs too. Sometimes when people get into a fight, they might abuse while texting or message anything wrong. In such situations, they might want to remove those message from both the sides. This is why Instagram rolled out the ‘Unsend’ feature by which the message will be removed from both the sides of chat.

Ans. The reason behind why you can’t see your friend’s chat is that either they have blocked you or they have deactivated their account.
