Last updated on January 26, 2022

You can manage your RingCentral app text messages by navigating to the Text menu via the left-hand navigation bar. In the left pane, a list of all active text message conversations is organized by most recent messages at the top.

From this section, you can manage your text messages such as deleting a conversation or specific message, blocking a number, and more. Note: Some of these options may not be available to you depending on your company account permissions.

Deleting a text message conversation

Navigate to Text via the left-hand navigation bar.
Hover your mouse over the conversation you’d like to delete and select the More menu that appears beside the number or name.

Click Delete from the dropdown menu to open the Delete conversation? window.
Select the Delete button.

Once you delete a text message conversation, you will lose the history of that conversation and you will be unable to recover that history at any time.

Deleting a text in a text message conversation
