I am creating an app where user can delete all history of a particular number or group of numbers. I am able to delete calls and sms was just thinking if there a way to delete message/chats related to a particular number from whatsapp pragmatically in android. As whatsapp is also a popular source now. Any views/directions would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

No, you cannot do this.

WhatsApp is a third party app, and does not provide an API for you to edit their data. On a rooted device you may be able to gain access to their databases, by they are AES encrypted, and you will have a tough time editing them on the fly.

Answer 2

You can't access to other app. But if your device is root, you can access to database of Whatsapp
