You may occasionally want to clear your device of old WhatsApp chats. Whether it's the start of a new year, a new season, or you just want to start afresh, wiping your WhatsApp clean is a good starting point. 

Deleting the WhatsApp messages means deleting them entirely from the WhatsApp log book. On the other hand, Clear WhatsApp chats mean you are clearing them from your WhatsApp board only. 

You can restore the backup messages when you log in to the new device, provided that you have only cleared them and not deleted them. Still, it is advised that you back up your WhatsApp data before deleting or clearing chat. 

If you never want to hear from a group again, start by exiting it within the chat. Just note that if you do exit the group and delete it, you won't be able to participate in it again unless you're added in the future. 

On Android, tap and hold the chat you want to get rid of and tap Delete twice. To delete a group chat on Android, tap and hold the group chat, select More, and tap Delete Group twice. (If you're asked to exit the group, tap that option first.)
