🗂️ Archiving conversations
Archiving hides a conversation from your main inbox without deleting it.
To archive a conversation:
Long-press the chat you want to archive.
Tap Archive.
You can view all archived conversations anytime by opening the Archived tab directly from the Inbox screen.
🗑️ Deleting conversations
You can permanently delete entire conversations in Beside.
This removes all history with that contact, including:
Call transcripts & summaries
Voicemails
Voice notes
Text messages
To delete a conversation:
Swipe left on the conversation you want to delete and tap “Delete” or
Long press on the conversation and select “Delete”
⚠️ Once deleted, the conversation cannot be recovered.
ℹ️ You cannot delete individual messages - only whole conversations.
🎙️ Voice memos
Voice memos can currently be archived only, not permanently deleted.
We know many users want more control over voice memo management, and our team is actively working on improvements for future updates.
💡 Important note for Beside contacts
If you don’t see the option to delete a conversation with another user, it’s likely because the contact is also a Beside user.
We are aware of this limitation and are actively working to support archiving and deleting conversations with Beside contacts in an upcoming update.
