Removing an entire conversation history from Facebook Messenger involves deleting individual messages or entire threads. The process differs depending on whether it’s done on a mobile device or desktop computer. On mobile, deletion is performed message by message, while browser extensions can automate thread removal on desktop. This action permanently removes the content from the user’s view, but recipients may still have a record of the interaction.
The capacity to manage digital footprints carries substantial weight in the modern era. Clearing message history enhances privacy, freeing up storage space, and mitigating the risk of sensitive information falling into unintended hands. Previously, Facebook did not offer any features to delete message in bulk. Third party browser extensions have emerged in response to user demand for bulk-deletion capabilities.
