Short answer
Deleting AI chat history usually means one of three things:
1. Clear this conversation — messages gone locally/server-side for that thread
2. Reset companion memory — personality context wiped
3. Delete entire account — all data removed per policy
Before switching apps: export anything you want, cancel subscriptions separately, then delete. See private AI chat.
Key takeaways
- Deleting the app ≠ deleting data — cancel billing in App Store / website (how to avoid subscription traps).
- Screenshot your cancel confirmation when deleting accounts.
- AISoul: use in-app clear history or account deletion — see privacy policy on /privacy.html.
Step-by-step: generic checklist
Before you delete
- [ ] Cancel Apple/Google subscription if applicable
- [ ] Spend leftover tokens (often non-refundable)
- [ ] Screenshot confirmation emails
