How to delete a message on Instagram

How many times have you sent a private by Instagram and after a while you have regretted what was written? Surely more than one. Well, the solution has finally arrived for those moments when cranial tension is at all-time highs. The social network has enabled the option to delete messages  sent through Instagram Direct.

Simply by opening the conversation in which the unwanted message is found and pressing and holding the one that we want to delete, the "Cancel sending" option will appear.

And voilà , message deleted. But keep in mind that if you are not fast, the message you wrote and regret may have already been read by the recipient.

  1. Open Instagram
  2. Go to the chat list and click one of the messages
  3. Press (i) button top right corner
  4. You will see Delete the conversation button

  1. Tap  in the top right of Feed.
  2. Swipe left (iOS) or tap and hold (Android) on the conversation you'd like to delete.

How to completely erase your private conversations on Instagram

 if you want to know how to completely erase your private conversations on Instagram, you should bear in mind that if you are the sender, you will not be able to delete the replies of the receiver of the conversation, so the only way to completely delete the conversation is for that person do the same process and delete all the messages that he sent from his own account. Therefore, if you don't want there to be any trace of a conversation with one person, you should delete all your messages one by one but also ask the other person to do the same. Otherwise, there will continue to be evidence that a conversation was held.
