How to delete conversation history


Resolution

To clear the Conversation History in Yahoo! Messenger for Android:

  1. Press the physical Menu button on your phone.
  2. Tap Conversations.
  3. Tap Edit at the top, right corner of the screen.
  4. You can either clear all conversations, or selected conversations:
  • To clear them all, tap Clear All.
  • To clear selected ones, tap the check mark next to the ones you want to clear and tap Clear Selected.

Additional Information:

  • Yahoo! Messenger conversations remain on your Android device until you clear them.
  • Archives are stored locally on your Android device and on  Yahoo!'s servers, so the conversations held on one device, are accessible from that device and from the Conversations folder in Yahoo! Mail.
  • A conversation history can only be printed or emailed from a PC.
  • To disable archiving in the Yahoo! Messenger for Android, this can only be done from a desktop computer by using Yahoo! Mail to disable server side archiving.
