How can I delete Facebook messages or Conversation?
To delete messages or conversations on Facebook Messenger, you can follow these steps, which vary slightly depending on whether you are using the website or the mobile app.
Deleting Messages and Conversations on the Facebook Website:
- Log into Facebook and click on the Messenger icon in the top right corner.
- Select the conversation you want to delete or from which you want to delete a message.
- To delete a message: Hover over the message, click the three-dot menu, and select "Remove." You will have two options: "Unsend for everyone" (which removes the message for all participants if it hasn't been seen) or "Remove for you" (which removes the message only from your view)123.
- To delete a conversation: Hover over the conversation under "Chats," click the three-dot menu, and select "Delete chat." Confirm by clicking "Delete chat" again123.
Deleting Messages and Conversations on the Mobile Messenger App:
- Open the Messenger app on your phone.
- To delete a message: Tap and hold the message until a menu appears. Tap "More" and then "Remove." You will have the options to "Unsend for everyone" or "Remove for you"123.
- To delete a conversation: Swipe left on the conversation you want to delete, tap "More," and then tap "Delete." Confirm by tapping "Delete" again123.
Key Points:
- Unsend for Everyone: If you choose this option, the message will be removed from the chat for all participants, but only if it has not been seen by the other person. You have a 10-minute window to unsend a message23.
- Remove for You: This option removes the message only from your view, but the other participants in the conversation will still see it123.
- Deleting All Messages: You cannot delete all your Facebook messages at once; you must delete them one chat at a time3.
By following these steps, you can manage and delete your messages and conversations on Facebook Messenger.
