if i sent a bbm and it has been delivered

[mercedescat]

but not read, if i delete the whole conversation, will that remove it from their device too and prevent the other person from reading what i sent? foot in mouth syndrome!

[deRusett]

No it will not

unfortunately once that D is beside it, all you can do is steal their phone and clear the chat

[llllBULLSEYE]

lmao
yeah nothing you can do

[mercedescat]

lol. thanks guys!!!

[TheScionicMan]

Foot in mouth AND typing a BBM too? You must be great at Twister...

Actually there is one thing you can do though it is rather drastic, delete them from your BB contact list all together, that will remove the entire conversation history on both your phones...

that does NOT always work

If they are not connected to the BIS while you delete them their is a good chance when they reconnect your account will remain on their BB, when they go to message you, it will ask them if they want to reinvite you.

usually it requires an open chat window to have a "ghosted" BBM contact like that

Yes your right I have seen ghost conversations as well, but assuming proper operation of BIS and BBM it does work to remove the message history. I've seen this used first hand by my daughter and her ex-boyfriends to send messages that could very well be taken as criminal harassment, only to have them disappear before you can take a screenshot, because the other party simply removed you from their contacts.

I do know it is possible, BUT it runs a risk of failing, AND then you double the foot in mouth because they have to add you back to reply.

Also the user may have already read the text using the History trick to keep the text as a D rather than turning it to an R. which I admit to having used before

Actually you can, take a note of your contact's pin, then delete them from your bbm contacts list, then the conversation will disappear from their phone.

After that you can invite them again and make up an excuse for it
