No, permanently deleting a chat on Instagram only removes it from your own chat list. The other party can still see their copy of the conversation unless they also delete it. To ensure a chat is removed from both sides, you can either ask the other person to delete it as well or use the 'Unsend' feature on messages you’ve sent. This way, those specific messages disappear from both users' inboxes, providing a more private experience.
