If you’re one of the many people who frequently use messaging apps, you probably know how frustrating it can be when you accidentally delete a message on your own side, but can’t seem to find it on the other person’s end. Luckily, there are a few different ways to delete messages on messenger, and we’ll show you how to do each one in this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many people are confused about whether deleting a Messenger chat on one side deletes the chat on the other side as well. The answer is that deleting a Messenger chat on one side does not delete the chat on the other side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you block someone on Facebook, they will no longer be able to send you messages. However, if you unblock them, the messages will start flowing again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you want to delete all of your messages from a Messenger chat with someone, you can do so on both your devices. On your iPhone or iPad, open the Messenger app and go to the conversation that you want to delete. Tap the three lines in the top left corner (or select the conversation if it’s open). At the bottom of the screen, tap Delete Conversation. On your Android phone or tablet, open the Messenger app and go to the conversation that you want to delete. Tap the three lines in the top left corner (or select the conversation if it’s open). At the bottom of the screen, tap Delete Conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you accidentally delete a message on your side of Messenger, you can try to recover it by following these steps:
1. On your device, open the Facebook app.
2. Tap on Messages at the top of the screen.
3. Select the conversation you want to recover and tap on the three lines in the top left corner.
4. Under Message Details, tap on Delete.
5. If you’re successful in deleting the message, Facebook will tell you so and it will be gone from your chat list and messages history on your device. However, if you accidentally deleted the message while someone was still typing it or after they had sent it but before it was received, then this won’t work and you’ll have to try to find another way to recover it (see below for more information).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you have ever deleted a message on Facebook Messenger after minutes, then you know that it is not as easy as just pressing the “delete” button. In fact, deleting a message on Facebook Messenger can be a bit confusing and frustrating. Here are some tips on how to delete a message on Facebook Messenger:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First, make sure that you are looking at the message that you want to delete. Sometimes, when you are deleting a message, it will pop up in your inbox rather than in the conversation window. If this is the case, make sure that you are viewing the message in its entirety before trying to delete it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next, select the “delete” button next to the message that you want to delete. However, be aware that this will not actually delete the message. Instead, it will only remove it from your conversation window. You will still be able to see and respond to the message in your inbox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If deletion of the message results in an error, then try using another method of deletion. For example, if you are using Facebook on your phone, try deleting the message by swiping it off of your screen. Alternatively, try using Facebook’s messaging app instead of Messenger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you are on a PC, you can delete all of your messages by going to your profile and clicking the “Messages” button. From there, you will be able to select all of your messages and hit the “Delete” button at the bottom. On a Mac, deleting a message is a little more complicated. You first have to find the message in question, which you can do by selecting it and pressing “CMD+K”. After that, you will have to select the “Delete” option from the menu that pops up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you’re one of the many people who have been trying to delete messages from your messenger account on both sides of the conversation, you may be experiencing some unexpected…issues. Here’s a look at why deleting messages on one’s own side of the conversation seems to be causing problems for some users, and a few possible solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Deleting messages on one’s own side of the conversation is supposed to delete them from both sides of the conversation, but that’s not always happening. Why? There are a few possible explanations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One possibility is that one’s phone may be configured to keep certain messages on both sides of the conversation. This feature is usually available if you choose to have Messenger keep track of past conversations (a feature known as “history”). If you want to delete messages from your past conversations, you can do so by going to Settings > Messages and then unchecking the box next to “History.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another possibility is that another person may have saved or copied certain messages from your conversation before you deleted them. If this happens, your deletion may not actually remove those messages from their chat history or theirs from yours. In order to completely remove a message from another person’s chat history, that person would<\/p>\n\n\n\n
