Delete A Conversation

Deprecated: The Ionic Cordova SDK is deprecated. For new Ionic/Cordova applications, please use the JavaScript SDK which provides full compatibility with Ionic applications.

In case you want to delete a conversation, you can use the deleteConversation() method.

This method takes two parameters. The unique id (UID/GUID) of the conversation to be deleted & the type (user/group) of conversation to be deleted.

let UID = "UID";
let type = "user";
CometChat.deleteConversation(UID, type).then(
  (deletedConversation) => {
    console.log(deletedConversation);
  },
  (error) => {
    console.log("error while deleting a conversation", error);
  }
);
let GUID = "GUID";
let type = "group";
CometChat.deleteConversation(GUID, type).then(
  (deletedConversation) => {
    console.log(deletedConversation);
  },
  (error) => {
    console.log("error while deleting a conversation", error);
  }
);

This method deletes the conversation only for the logged-in user. To delete a conversation for all the users of the conversation, please refer to our REST API documentation here.

The deleteConversation() method takes the following parameters:

Parameter Description Required
conversationWith UID of the user or GUID of the group whose conversation you want to delete. YES
conversationType The type of conversation you want to delete . It can be either user or group. YES
