TikTok today is one of the most used social networks ; The short videos that the platform shows in its for you section can keep you hooked for hours, whether you watch humorous content, controversy, sports, or history.
Like any social network, on TikTok you can send messages to your followers or the people you follow through the private application. When a chat is opened with the user you are talking to, all the messages that are sent are saved in the conversation, as many TikToks that are shared as anything else that is written.
However, both private TikToks conversations and messages from each chat can be deleted , and that’s exactly what we’ll show you this time, are you ready? Go for it.

How to see the message tray to classify those that will be deleted?
In TikTok you have a section where all the private messages that have been sent to your account appear. To access it, you logically need to first enter TikTok , either from your Android mobile or from the application on iPhone.
From the Android app
To enter TikTok on your Android mobile, you must first download the application from the Google Play Store. When you already have it installed on your phone, you must log in to your TikTok profile . Once in your account, you will notice that the first thing that appears is the “For you” section, but at the bottom, there will be a strip with different options; To access your private messages, you must first go to the “Inbox” section.
When all the activity of your profile appears, you will have to click on the paper plane icon that will be in the upper right corner, and after that you will have entered your private messages tray.
With the iOS app
The process to access your TikTok inbox on IOS devices is the same as on Android phones. First enter the application, go to the inbox section, click on the paper plane icon in the upper right corner and that’s it; you will have already entered your TikTok messages.
What is the way to delete multiple messages at the same time?
Unfortunately today there is no way in which you can delete multiple messages from a TikTok conversation. The only option left for you in this matter is to delete the messages one by one, or to delete the entire conversation outright.
How can a message be deleted so that it does not reach the recipient?
In TikTok there is the option to delete a message once you have sent it. The message as such does not stop reaching its recipient, because it does, but if you are lucky enough to delete the message before the person sees it , then they will never find out that you have sent it.
Be that as it may, we are going to show you below how you can delete a message on TikTok so that the recipient does not know that you have sent it.
From the saved messages section
In TikTok you can like the messages that a user sends you. That is a very good way in which you can “save” what they have written to you, because although messages are not saved as such, by having the symbol of the like that you have given, in a certain way you will make it stand out in your chat and so you can find it easier.
These types of TikTok messages can also be deleted, and all you have to do is enter the chat, look for the message with the like, press and hold on it and select the delete option.
Directly from your contact’s chat
When you enter a chat with any of your TikTok contacts, you have the option to delete any messages you have sent. As we described in the previous point, you only have to press and hold on the message in question and select the delete option to be able to delete the message.
When a message is deleted on TikTok for the recipient, is it also deleted?
Previously we told you that in the TikTok social network when you delete a message you have sent, it will be deleted both in your chat and in the other person’s conversation.
What happens with this? If the recipient of the message has already seen it, then the person will know what you have said. However, the fact that the message has been read does not mean that if you delete it, it will continue to appear in the other person’s conversation, since it will be deleted anyway .
Why doesn’t the TikTok app let you delete a message?
There are a few reasons why TikTok does not allow you to delete a message you have sent and we will discuss them below.
The contact blocked you from their TikTok
If a person who was your contact on TikTok blocks you and you want to delete a message from the conversation you had with that person, you may not be able to do so.
This is because at the moment you are going to delete the message you will be making a change in the conversation that will affect both your chat and that of your contact . If this has blocked you, then TikTok will not be able to make the change when deleting the message, so it will not let you delete it outright.
internet failures
Having a poor internet connection could cause your TikTok message not to be deleted because the app doesn’t have a connection to make the change you’re making to the conversation.
