Deleteable/Eraseble whispers or direct messages.
For give aways sometimes important.
The messages which sometimes contain sensible personal data like addresses or phone numbers for tracking sending and tracking purposes should be deletable/erasable.
It could get very ugly if a streamers or a mods account would get hacked and a bunch of personal data gets leaked or stolen.

The whisper system in Twitch chat is unfortunately not without some issues. I frequently whisper friends on Twitch and when the number of messages becomes more that one or two, the system gets buggy. It will randomly scroll you back to messages that had been sent sometime in the past. It will stop you from sending messages. It has on occasion, sent a message and then not posted, or posted it at some other random interval. On occasion, a msg from before will resend itself. These issues cause a great deal of frustration and confusion. While discussing it with a friend, we hypothesized that the system is not meant to hold a large number of messages. Perhaps by having the ability to purge whisper history, it will cut down on the number of bugs. It will also leave people feeling less vulnerable to the possibility of others gaining access to their information. (In addition, the whisper msg system may need to be overhauled.)

You are able to delete whispers on twitch website but not mobile app. This needs to be an option for the app as well.

Dans les whisper pouvoir supprimer ses messages ce n’est pas disponible. Ça peut être bien d’avoir la fonction pour supprimer ses propres messages ou même les autres messages.

Add "clear whisper history". History should be cleared on both ends.
Just closing chat by pressing X won't cut it. -

im confused, if you are on the web client and open up the little whispers tab on the bottom left of chat and you hover over the whisper, there is an X that shows up. just click the X and it deletes the whisper. i just tested it 3 times and it works for me at least.

why is this still not a thing yet? does twitch care about their users privacy or not?? make it an option!

Yes, a delete option is needed because of unwanted contact by whisper.

Yea, it doesnt make sense to not be able to delete a whisper thread.

This needs to happen for the web client not just the PC client. If you want to keep history forever, fine. Give us a way to delete things we want to delete.
