Sometimes a chat needs a fresh start, and sometimes you just want it out of your list. Chillverse has a separate button for each. The buttons are easy to mix up, so here is the difference.
Clear chat: wipe the history from your view
Open a DM, tap the 3-dot menu at the top and choose Clear chat. Everything said up to that moment disappears from your screen, and the chat preview and unread count reset along with it.
- The conversation stays in your list.
- New messages keep arriving as normal, and only they will show.
- It happens right away, with no "are you sure?" step, so tap it on purpose.
{{callout:blue:Info}} Clearing only changes what you see. The other person still has the whole conversation, exactly as it was.
Delete chat: remove it from your list
On your chat list, tap the 3-dot menu on the right side of the conversation and choose Delete chat. The conversation leaves your list, as if it was never there.
The name is a little dramatic, because nothing is truly destroyed. It is more of a tidy-up:
- The other person is not affected, and their copy stays put.
- If they message you while you are using Chillverse, the chat pops back into your list on its own.
- Global Chat cannot be deleted, so it will always be there for you.
Which one do I want?
- A messy chat you still use: Clear chat, then carry on.
- A chat you are done looking at: Delete chat.
- Both: clear first, then delete. The next time it comes back, it starts clean.
{{callout:gold:AlertTriangle}} Neither option stops anyone from messaging you. If someone keeps bothering you, use Block user, which sits in the same 3-dot menu as Clear chat at the top of a DM.
