How to delete Skype Chat History on iPhone

If you want to selectively delete the chat history on your iPhone, this is the quickest and easiest to do it.

1. From your Home screen, open and log-in to your Skype application.

2. By default, the first screen you will see on your Skype is the “Recent” tab. This tab shows all the recent down to the oldest chat history you had. If you are not on the Recent tab, swipe left or right until you get to the right tab.

3. Select which chat history you want to delete and then do a press and hold on that conversation. Wait for the options to slide out.

4. You will now have to choose whether to “delete chat” or “cancel“. Press on “delete chat” to confirm that you want to delete that conversation.

Another way to “surely” delete your Skype chat log or history for your iOS or Android mobile devices, a little tricky though. You will need your device and desktop computer to do this trick.

1. First, you will need to sign-out your Skype account from your mobile device.

2. Then go to your computer and sign-in your Skype account there.

3. Click on Tools -> Options or press CTRL + “+” simultaneously.

4. Once the Skype Options window opens, navigate down until you see “Privacy“.

5. Normally, you will only see 2 options under Privacy Settings so you need to click the “Show advanced options“.
