How to delete moments on WeChat

WeChat has grown exponentially in recent years. One of the most popular features of the social media platform is Moments. It’s a similar concept to the Facebook wall, where you post videos and photos that your friends can like or comment on.

Posting to Moments is immediate and it’s easy to make a mistake, like posting the wrong photo. Fortunately, deleting a WeChat Moments post is a simple process.

In this article, we will explain how to delete WeChat Moments as well as comments on your posts. We will also answer other relevant questions that can help you better understand Moments on WeChat.

How to delete moments on WeChat?

Let’s pe right into answering the most important question. You’ve browsed your Moments on WeChat and decided you no longer want others to see a particular photo or video. The good news is that it is not necessary. Here’s how to delete a post in Moments on WeChat:

1. Open WeChat on your mobile device.
   
2. Tap the “Me” icon at the bottom of the screen.
   
3. Then, tap “My Posts.” You will be redirected to the “Moments” tab.
   
4. You’ll see a complete list of your Moments, categorized by the date they were published. To delete a photo or video, first open it.
   
5. Next, select the three horizontal dots in the upper left corner of the screen. A pop-up panel will appear at the bottom of the screen.
   
6. Tap “Delete” and confirm.
   

If you want to delete all Moments posts, you will need to do so separately for each one. There is no option to delete all posts at once.

How to delete WeChat messages?

Although WeChat is a social media platform, at its core it works much like a primarily text messaging app. Sharing instant text, image and video messages is quick and effortless.

However, there comes a time when you want to delete a specific message from a conversation. Or maybe you want to delete all messages between you and another person. Both things are possible with WeChat.

To delete a single message in a WeChat chat, simply tap and hold on a particular message. A menu will appear and you must select “Delete” (trash icon). You will be asked to confirm, so tap “Delete” again.

You can also do the same with other people’s messages. If you want to delete an entire conversation in one go, long-press that specific chat. A menu will appear and you must select “Delete chat”.

Here is the important part to keep in mind. When you delete messages, whether they are yours or your friends’, they will not disappear from the WeChat server. That also means they won’t disappear from the other person’s device either.

How to delete WeChat moment comments?

The unpleasant reality of social media is that you will find comments you don’t like under your posts. Everyone who posts has that experience from time to time, at least. Fortunately, the comments you don’t appreciate in your WeChat Moments don’t have to stop there.

You have control over which comments can remain and which can disappear. There are two ways to do it. Tap the comment you want to delete and select “Delete” from a pop-up menu that appears at the bottom of the screen.

Or long press the comment and select “Delete” from the pop-up menu that will appear below the comment. Either way, the comment is deleted immediately. Unfortunately, Likes cannot be deleted, even if they are from a person you don’t particularly like.

How to delete WeChat group?

A WeChat group can support up to 500 members and is a useful tool for businesses and event organizing. You may have also created a WeChat group with your friends where you share fun content.

Regardless of the group’s purpose, you may decide it’s time to delete it. Unfortunately, you cannot delete a WeChat group. Instead, you can leave it. That is how:

1. Launch WeChat on your device and find the group you want to leave.
   
2. Tap the group title and then tap the “Person” icon at the top of the screen.
3. Choose “Delete and exit” and then confirm.
   

Although the group will no longer be available on your device and you will no longer be a member, it will still exist for other members.

However, if you are the creator of a specific WeChat group, you can transfer ownership to another member. This is how you can transfer WeChat group management to another member of that group:

1. Launch WeChat and access the group you want to transfer.
2. Select the three horizontal dots in the upper right corner of the screen.
   
3. Select “Manage Group” and then “Transfer Ownership.”
   
4. Choose the member who will receive ownership of the group from the list and tap their name.
   

How to disable WeChat moments?

Do you want to use WeChat only as a messaging app and not as a social media platform? Then Moments may not be a feature you need at all. You can choose not to post anything or delete previously posted images and videos.

However, that doesn’t solve your friends’ Moments on the “Discover” page. You’re probably getting notifications about new posts from your friends in Moments or you’re wandering around the section on your own.

If you don’t want any of that, you can turn off WeChat Moments completely. It’s a super simple process and here’s what you need to do:

1. Open WeChat on your device and then tap the “Me” icon at the bottom of the screen.
   
2. Select “Settings” from the menu and then “General.”
   
3. From there, choose “Manage Discovery” followed by “Moments.”
   
4. Move the toggle switch to off.
   

It’s important to remember that if you still have old posts in Moments that you haven’t deleted, this won’t stop your friends from seeing them. You must manually remove them to ensure they can’t see them.
