Badoo like most other social media platforms is very much dependent on users messaging and conversing with each other. But what happens when you delete a conversation on Badoo?
What data is deleted, what’s retained, and are the messages deleted for the other person as well?
There are quite a few questions, and I’ve got the answers for all of them.
What Happens When You Delete A Conversation On Badoo
When you delete a conversation on Badoo, the entire chat history is deleted and your connection with that user is terminated. You also won’t be able to recover a conversation once it’s deleted.
While you might have deleted a conversation on Badoo by mistake or for a valid reason, it’s important to understand a few things.
Essentially, when you delete a conversation, the entire chat is deleted from your chat list.
In addition to this, the user is also removed from your chat list, which means you can’t message them directly.
The final nail in the coffin is that these conversations can’t be recovered either.
So if you deleted a chat by mistake, there’s nothing you can do to get it back.
If you want to delete a conversation on Badoo, go ahead and hold down the chat in the app on your phone and tap ‘Delete’.
On the website, click the three horizontal dots in the chat window and click ‘Delete’.
If I Delete A Conversation Will It Be Deleted In The Other Person’s Messages
To put it simply, deleting a conversation on Badoo only deletes the conversation from your chat list.
This means the other person can still see the chat history with you.
Additionally, they’ll still be able to message you, with the only difference being that it will be a new chat for you.
However, if you want to delete a chat with someone and remove it from their chat list as well, the only way to do that is by blocking them.
If you block the user you want to delete a chat with, it automatically clears the chat history for you and your account won’t show in their chat list anymore.
So, if you end up feeling uncomfortable with someone you connected with on Badoo, the safer option is to block them rather than delete the conversation.
Additionally, if you delete your Badoo account for some reason, your chats will still show up on other’s chat lists, but your profile will show up as a ‘Deleted Account’ with no additional information.

In many cases, people also delete chats to organize and declutter their chat lists, or they just want to clear out old conversations that haven’t gone anywhere in months.
Whatever the case may be, now you know exactly what happens when you delete a chat on Badoo.
