body: Dear Law StackExchange community,
  
  
  I'm attempting to get chat history removed with another party dating back a long time ago. I don't want the chats to remain existent on any device whatsoever, so I would like to have them removed based on the GDPR.
  
  
  Is Facebook/WhatsApp legally obligated to remove the chat history on every client (device)? It's a 1 on 1 chat so not a group chat. 
  
  
  And yeah, I live in the EU. 
  
  
  Edit: I know backups or any sort of restoration can't be removed, but I am talking cloud synced data, viewing chat on the app, etc. 
  
  
  Thanks in advance.
