Can You Delete Messages Using the Reddit Mobile App – No 😢

It currently seems like there is no way to delete messages on the Reddit App. Here is how you can view them though:

How to Delete Reddit Messages in a Chat

The chat feature on Reddit is a separate feature from messages. You can use it to communicate directly with other users on the platform or create a group chat. To delete messages in a Reddit chat, you can follow the steps mentioned below:

  1. Open the chat window from your profile 
  2. Hover over the message you’d like to delete
  3. Click on the “trash can” icon to delete it

There is no way to delete a chat in one go so you will manually have to delete messages in this way. However, the messages you delete will disappear from both ends but you can only delete the messages you have sent. Messages that you receive from the other user cannot be deleted. 

These are some of the ways how to delete Reddit messages. However, you can also delete your Reddit account but doing so will not delete your comments, messages, or posts. They will simply appear anonymous. 

If you wish to leave no footprint of your activity on Reddit then you must first delete your Reddit messages and then delete your account. Frequently deleting messages on Reddit can help keep your inbox and online space clutter-free.
