Instant messaging app Telegram allows users to exchange messages and communicate via calls, similar to its rival WhatsApp. However, it also offers some ‘unique’ features such as the ability to delete messages for both the sender and the recipient at any time. Additionally, it also lets you delete messages based on their date.
Deleting messages by date on Telegram
Telegram offers users complete control over their online chat history and allows them to delete any message in a chat. With the use of message deletion by date, Telegram users can delete all chat history in a conversation belonging to a certain day or date range. It is also important to note that this feature is only available for one-to-one Telegram chats and not for groups.
