How to delete conversations on Skype on android

I use Skype on my android device but there dosn't appear to be any way to delete the conversations there.
Is there a way to stop the android phone from syncing all the conversations, even ones that I've deleted on my PC still appear on the phone!
I would also like to know how to protect the account with a password as I need one to get into the account on my PC (which is how I like it), but anyone that picked up my phone could read anything said ever on my phone or on my PC, some of which I'd rather keep private.
I'd really apprieciate any help anyone can offer with any of these issues.
Thanks

That is a ridiculous, countless people are on the forums wishing to permanently delete their conversation history. I wish to not only achieve that, but also modify my Privacy settings into NOT saving ANY of my chat history. It shocks me that such a basic command cannot be found within this application.
I recently posted another thread regarding my problem with not being able to find the menu bar at all. Without a menu bar, how in the world am I supposed to access my privacy settings? What further surprises me is that most of these threads haven't been answered at all, even questions dating back to January are still unanswered. It makes me wonder just how much effort is being put into fixing these problems.
Please, at least include this incredibly basic setting in the application, it's completely necessary. Thank you.

  • How to delete contacts in skype 7.5 for Mac?

    I cannot delete contact on skype for MAC. There are several posts marking this as resolved suggesting the following, none of which works:
    going to the "All" contact lists and pressing backspace:  absolutelty nothing happens;
    right-clicking the contact: there is no option to delete a contact, only to block;
    highlighting the contact and going to the Contacts menu item at the top of the screen: the delete contact option is there, but it is unaccessible (in light grey);
    So, how can I delete a contact?

    Regarding Mac contacts: that option is not possible on my skype. It is there, but in light grey, and it is not ticked (and I cannot tick it even if I want to). >> You say you haven't linked Facebook and Skype. Can you tell us if there is a "Facebook" item in the contact group list? In the sidebar choose "Contacts," then look at the bar below the toolbar and to the left of "Add Contact." There is no "Facebook" item in the contact group list. >> Have you tried deleting a contact using a different platform's Skype client? iOS or Android or Windows, for example? I do not have a Windows machine. In iOS for iPad I only had the "Block" option, no delete. I do not have it installed in Android, and do not want to do it. Best,

  • How to delete conversation with a single contact

    I would like to delete my IM conversation.  Can you help?

    it may not be possible to delete that particular chat conversation without deleting your whole chat histories.  Yet, you can also block that user and report them to [email protected] for possibly misusing Skype services.

  • Cannot shut off skype on android phone

    How do you shut off skype from android phone.  I can't find any button to shut it off once it's on!

    This thing has totally hijacked my phone.  I can not make any calls at all with my regular cell phone service.  Everytime I try it immediately opens skype and tries to dial from there.  I have hit the "sign out' button, that does not work.  I have pulled my battery out and sim card out, that doesn't work.  I have powered it off and on; that does not work.  I can not even call my provider to report the problem as it only goes to skype.  I do have the most current version of Skype; so that is not the issue either. there apparenly is not way to call anyone and get a live person for help????  I have tried everything.  This is a business phone and consequently has shut me down without it????  HELP.This is because you have set (by accident) Skype to be the default application for calls. To change this go in Settings, then Apps. You should be in a tab called "Downloaded." From there, scroll down until you see Skype. Click on Skype, scroll down and touch the "Clear defaults" button. Next time you'll dial make sure to select "Dialer" or something like that (and definitely NOT Skype) before clicking on "Always launch this app". I hope this helps. P.S.: As a follow up from my previous message, I have uninstalled Skype and stopped using it. I switched everything to Google Hangouts and Whatsapp.

    Dear Readers,
    Please be advised that this software is not tested by Skype, and is not in any way a Skype-affiliated app; therefore, you need to be very careful using it.
