Delete Conversation

Delete user or group conversations using the CometChat iOS SDK.

AI Integration Quick Reference

// Delete user conversation
CometChat.deleteConversation(conversationWith: "UID", conversationType: .user,
  onSuccess: { msg in }, onError: { err in })

// Delete group conversation
CometChat.deleteConversation(conversationWith: "GUID", conversationType: .group,
  onSuccess: { msg in }, onError: { err in })

Note: Deletes only for the logged-in user. Use REST API to delete for all participants.

This operation is irreversible. Deleted conversations cannot be recovered for the logged-in user.

Use deleteConversation() to delete a conversation for the logged-in user.

Delete User Conversation

CometChat.deleteConversation(conversationWith: "cometchat-uid-1", conversationType: .user, onSuccess: { (message) in
    print("Conversation deleted: \(message)")
}, onError: { (error) in
    print("Error: \(error?.errorDescription)")
})

Delete Group Conversation

CometChat.deleteConversation(conversationWith: "group-guid-1", conversationType: .group, onSuccess: { (message) in
    print("Conversation deleted: \(message)")
}, onError: { (error) in
    print("Error: \(error?.errorDescription)")
})

This deletes the conversation only for the logged-in user. To delete for all participants, use the REST API.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
conversationWith	String	Yes	UID of user or GUID of group
