> This is the Markdown of a Backed Help Centre page, https://admin.backed.giving/help/news/2026/2026-11-08-rounds-delete-messages.md. Every page is listed at https://admin.backed.giving/help/llms.txt.

Rounds is the community app, separate from Backed's grant management, so this has no Help Centre
article.

## What's new

- **Delete for me on a message.** Each message has a small delete control beside its time. On a
  phone it is always there; on a desktop it shows when you point at the message. It works on your
  own messages and on the other person's, and it asks first.
- **Delete conversation.** A conversation's options page has `Delete conversation`, which clears
  every message so far from your view. If the other person writes again, the conversation comes
  back with only the new messages.
- **Nothing is deleted for the other person.** Rounds keeps every message. Deleting only changes
  what you see, and the other person still has their copy.
- **Conversations with someone who left Rounds stay.** When a member deletes their account, your
  conversation with them stays in your list under "Former member", and you can still read it.
