- Delete your messages. Deleting a single conversation is easy, and it's likely that you've done this many times. You only need to swipe left over a conversation in the main list of threads, tap the trashcan icon and tap "Delete" to confirm.
- Mute a conversation. Fed up of receiving alerts for certain conversations but still want to see notifications appearing for other chats?
