If a person is defriended by someone on WeChat does that automatically delete all of their WeChats with the person who defriended them?

Hello, thank you for using Howly. I’ll be happy to help you out! May I ask your name?

Nice to meet you, *****!
How can I help you?

Customer Replay

I want to know the answer to the following question: if a person is defriended by someone that they've been chatting with on WeChat does that automatically delete all of their WeChats with the person who defriended them?
I've been told by a regular user of WeChat that the answer to my question is no and that for WeChat history to be deleted, the defriended party has to actually do the deleting him or herself.

This person told you everything correctly

He should delete this chat himself
Do you have any additional questions I can help you with?

Customer Replay

One more question. Is there any way of for someone who has deleted WeChat messages to recover the deleted messages?

Yes, you can recover Deleted WeChat History!

Customer Replay

How do you do that?

From what device do you want to do this?

Customer Replay

From an Apple phone.

Got this information!

Customer Replay

Can you tell me how to effect the recovery?

Customer Replay

I also have a few more questions. So I'll ask them now and you can maybe give the answers after you've answered the current question.

Yes, sure
Step 1: First of all, check whether you have the latest backup. Tap “Settings” >You Name > “iCloud” > “Storage” > “Manage Storage”. Then you can see the date and size of the latest backup.
Do this please!
If something is unclear, let me know!

Customer Replay

I'm not the one who has lost the WeChat history. So I just need instructions on how to do it so that I can pass it on to the person in question.

Point taken
Now I will send you the complete instructions

Thanks. Does defriending someone automatically remove you from the defriended party's contact list? And does this make it impossible to recover your WeChat history with that person?

let's do everything in order, please!
Step 1: First of all, check whether you have the latest backup. Tap “Settings” >You Name > “iCloud” > “Storage” > “Manage Storage”. Then you can see the date and size of the latest backup.
Step 2: Tap “Settings” > “General” > “Reset” > “Erase All Contents and Settings” to erase all contents and settings on your phone.
Step 3: Set up your iPhone for the first time you use it. When setting “Apps & Data”, tap “Restore from iCloud Backup”.
Note that iTunes requires you to restore all backups on your iPhone and all existing data will be overwritten. Follow the steps for recovery from iTunes backup.
Step 1: Launch iTunes and connect your phone to the computer
Step 2: On the left side, click “Summary” > “Restore backup”
Step 3: Wait for the process completed, and the latest backup will be restored to your iPhone
That's your instruction!
What other questions do you have?

Customer Replay

Great. Thanks for that.
My other questions are as follows:
1. Does defriending someone automatically remove you from the defriended person's contact list?

You are welcome!
No, it does not remove

Customer Replay

Thanks.

Do you have any additional questions I can help you with?

Customer Replay

Question 2: If you do remove someone from your contact list because they've defriended you, does that mean it is impossible for you to recover your WeChat history with the person who defriended you?

If the other person deletes your chat, it will be impossible for you to recover it
Is there anything else I can do for you today?

Customer Replay

You've misunderstood slightly. What I want to know is whether the person who deleted the WeChat history can recover it?

Yes, the person can do it!

Customer Replay

Slight error in my question... sorry. I mean if a person removes another party from their contact list does this mean that Party A can no longer recover their WeChat history with Party B?

If you have had a chat with this person, then you can do this.

Customer Replay

So Party A can recover their WeChat history with Party B even if they have removed Party B from their contact list?

Yes, if they communicated in chat before that.

Customer Replay

Thanks. A few more questions... nearly there...

Yes, I'm waiting

Customer Replay

Question 3: If Party A's WeChat history has not been backed up, does that mean that WeChat's servers don't store Party A's WeChat history and that this WeChat history is deleted?

Yes, this means that the servers do not create a chat history.

Customer Replay

Question 4: If Party A who deleted the WeChat history then migrates all of his data to a new phone, does that mean that it will not be possible to recover the deleted WeChat history from the new phone?

Got this question!

Customer Replay

ie does it mean it will not be possible for Party A to recover the deleted WeChat history on the new phone.

If you will migrate or Restore WeChat to New Phone, then yes you can do it!

Customer Replay

Great. Thanks. Much appreciated. No more questions... :-)
