To permanently delete all Messenger messages from both sides, you need to first open the conversation. Then, tap and hold on a message you’ve sent, select 'More,' and choose 'Remove.' Finally, select 'Remove for Everyone' to delete the message from both sides of the conversation. This action must be done individually for each message. It's important to note that this feature has a time limit after the message has been sent, beyond which the option to 'Remove for Everyone' may not be available.
FAQs & Answers
- Can I delete Messenger messages from both sides after the time limit? No, the 'Remove for Everyone' option is only available within a limited time after sending the message. After this time period, you can only delete the message from your side.
- Is it possible to delete all Messenger messages at once from both sides? Currently, Messenger does not offer a bulk delete option for removing messages from both sides. Each message must be deleted individually using the 'Remove for Everyone' feature.
- What happens if I delete a message only for myself on Messenger? Deleting a message only for yourself removes it from your chat view but keeps it visible to the other person in the conversation.
