You can delete old messages on Facebook Messenger. Deleting messages can be useful for various reasons, such as clearing up cluttered conversations or removing sensitive or personal information. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to delete messages on Facebook Messenger:
1. Launch Facebook Messenger on your Android or iPhone device.
2. Navigate to the specific conversation from which you want to delete messages.
3. Once you’re in the conversation, locate the message you wish to remove.
4. Tap and hold the message you want to delete. This action will prompt a popup menu to appear.
5. In the popup menu, you will see two options – “Remove” and “Forward.”
6. Tap on the “Remove” option, which is usually located at the bottom right corner of the screen.
7. After tapping “Remove,” a confirmation message will appear asking if you want to delete the message.
8. If you’re sure you want to delete the message, tap on the “Remove for Everyone” option. This action will delete the message not only from your device but also from the recipient’s device.
9. If you accidentally delete the message or change your mind, you can tap on the “Undo” button that appears briefly after deleting the message. This will restore the deleted message.
It’s important to note that deleting a message on Facebook Messenger will only remove it from your own device and the recipient’s device. The message may still be visible to other participants in the conversation or stored on Facebook’s servers.
Additionally, it’s worth mentioning that Facebook Messenger does not provide an option to bulk delete messages. You will need to delete each message individually following the steps mentioned above.
Deleting old messages on Facebook Messenger is a straightforward process. By following the steps outlined above, you can easily remove specific messages from your conversations, helping you keep your chats organized and private.
