Q: Why can’t WeChat directly delete conversations in batches?
A: WeChat product design pays more attention to the retention of chat records to prevent the loss of important information caused by misoperation.
Q: How to restore important conversations after batch deletion?
A: If you have enabled chat history migration or backup in advance, you can restore it through [Settings] - [Chat] - [Chat History Backup and Migration].
Q: Will deleting conversations affect WeChat’s memory usage?
A: Merely deleting the dialog box will not significantly reduce the memory usage. It needs to be combined with [Storage Space] cleanup to truly free up space.
