WeChat Moments is a popular feature that allows users to share photos, videos, and text updates with their contacts. Over time, your Moments feed can get cluttered with old posts that you may want to remove. Here are step-by-step instructions for deleting Moments posts on WeChat.

Deleting Single Moments Posts
To delete an individual Moments post:
- Open the WeChat app and tap on “Me” at the bottom
- Tap on “My Posts” under your profile picture
- Locate the post you want to delete and tap on the “…” icon in the top right corner
- Select “Delete” to remove the post
The post will be immediately deleted from your Moments feed and other users will no longer be able to view it.
Deleting Multiple Moments Posts
You can also delete multiple posts at once:
- Tap on “My Posts” under your profile picture
- Tap “Edit” at the top right corner
- Tap the circle icon on all of the posts you want to delete so a checkmark appears
- Tap “Delete” at the bottom and confirm deleting the selected posts
All of the checked posts will be deleted from your Moments feed.
Clearing Entire WeChat Storage
If you want to delete your entire WeChat storage including Moments, you can do so through the app’s settings:
- Go to “Me” > “Settings” > “General”
- Tap “Storage and Data”
- Tap “Clear Storage” then “Delete” to confirm
Warning: This will delete your entire WeChat data history including contacts, messages, photos, and more. Only use this method if you want to completely reset the app.
Managing WeChat App Storage
Under “Storage and Data”, you can view how much storage WeChat is taking up and manage it:
- See how much total storage is being used by WeChat
- View storage usage by feature (Moments, chat history, etc)
- Selectively clear storage from specific features like Moments
This allows you to free up space without having to delete everything.
Changing WeChat Privacy Settings
You can control who sees your Moments posts by adjusting your WeChat privacy settings:
- Go to “Me” > “Settings” > “Privacy”
- Tap “My Posts”
- Toggle on/off contacts that you want to show/hide your posts from
By default, all of your WeChat contacts can view your Moments feed. Use the privacy settings to limit visibility.
Deleting Single Chats
To remove an entire chat history with a user or group:
- Go to “Chats” and tap on the conversation
- Tap and hold the chat then select “Delete Chat”
- Confirm deleting the chat history
This will only delete that specific chat’s messages and not affect your overall Moments feed.
Backing Up WeChat Data
Before making major changes like clearing your storage, make sure your important WeChat data is backed up:
- iOS: Your WeChat data should backup automatically to iCloud. You can check under iPhone Settings > Your Name > iCloud.
- Android: Under WeChat Settings > Chat Backup, turn on “Auto Backup” to regularly backup your chats.
You can also manually backup WeChat by exporting chat history and Moments posts to your camera roll or computer.
Conclusion
Deleting and managing your Moments feed helps keep your WeChat tidy and personalized. Make sure to adjust your privacy settings to control visibility. Backing up important data beforehand is recommended before clearing your storage.
Following these best practices allows you to curate your WeChat Moments feed while protecting your personal information. Let us know if you have any other questions!
