To delete messages on an Android app, first open the messaging app and locate the conversation containing the messages you want to delete. Long-press the specific message until a menu appears, then select 'Delete' or 'Remove.' Confirm the action if prompted to permanently delete the message. For multiple messages, after long-pressing the first message, tap any additional messages to select them before choosing 'Delete.' This process can slightly vary depending on your Android device and messaging app version.
