Any tips on how to delete a specific contacts chat history which every time I try it goes wait a moment and then freezes and says error.
 Best bet to erase all the whatsapp messages or re download the app and un-install?

What about trying to delete that chat using the Web or desktop version?
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Was an android samsung.
What about trying to delete that chat using the Web or desktop version?
Tried the desktop version no luck, I tried to clear up the phone a bit thinking that could be the problem, but didn't get a chance to clean much, but a bit later someone else tried to help out by deleting some unnecessary info, and by mistake deleted all the whatsapp pics, which then allowed for the one specific chat to be erased without problems.. (if they want the pics back I would use one of those programs which uses the computers software(i think it was called CDM or something like that from the command prompt, it worked great last time for picture recovery.) but thanks guys anyways.


 Another question on a (Galaxy)S7 for what's app I see or at least I couldn't find any options for the media to be saved on my sd card, rather I have to move all the pics, vidoes and etc. Every so often? Is that the new setting for the S7?

If you backup your WhatsApp to Google drive, simply restore the backup before it backs up again. ( I know too many times the work backup....)
