To keep private messages private, Google Allo features Incognito mode. But if you happen to share sensitive messages on a non-incognito (regular mode) conversation with your contacts, then you might want to delete them later on. Allo lets you do it easily.
However, you can only delete messages from your own device, not from other people’s devices with whom you shared messages on Allo. This includes text messages, pictures, videos and any other type of information you shared.
You can delete selected message or clear entire history for Groups, Personal chats and Google Assistant on Allo.
