Delete messages in the Geocaching app on iPhone?

[+MsGumshoe]

Hello Everyone. I reached out to the geocaching team on Facebook and was told the following: click trash can next to username, or hide by clicking the 3 dots next to the player's name.

Unfortunately I have neither of these options on the app, and the app is up to date. The app does not allow me to "swipe" to delete a message either. On a laptop, there is no issue with deleting messages. Interested in hearing other's experiences, workarounds, solutions? Thank you. 🥾🕵🏻‍♀️🌞

The solution is to use the webpage, as the option to block an user and delete messages only is available on the webpage message center .

 

You can of course use an browser on your mobile phone instead of your laptop.

I just checked on both Android and iOS and there is no option on the app to delete messages.

I must have missed it...   I thought that it was impossible to delete messages on the website as well.

When did that change?  Thanks.

At least a year or two ago if I recall correctly. But only messages you have sent. You just click on the trash can.

Thanks!  I don't send messages with it but get a bunch, even though it says "I use email only. Thanks." on my profile.

Guess that's why I didn't notice.          And I'm sticking to that story.

Thanks! for your responses. Hopefully the app developers will eventually provide the message deletion option within the app.
