Delete Multiple Messages on Messenger

If you are one of the 1.3 billion active monthly users of Facebook Messenger, then you might have this query how to delete multiple messages on FB messenger at once?

Don’t worry, I was also one of you and here to share something interesting which will help you to save your time by making you understand that is it really possible to delete multiple text messages on Messenger or not.

Can I Delete Multiple Messages on Messenger?

Currently, there is no such feature on Facebook messenger that allows you to delete multiple messages at once. Instead, you can remove individual text messages by selecting one by one at a time or can delete all chats at once.

Facebook had this feature in the older version, but they put it down due to some reasons, and now users can delete one message at a time or can delete the entire conversation.

Even iPhone and Android users are also unable to delete multiple conversations on Facebook Messenger.

However, some people are recommending several Google Chrome extensions for this purpose. Honestly, I have tried all of them, and nothing worked for me. Personally, I have tried these three free Google chrome extensions “Delete All Messages for Facebook,” “Delete All Messages on Facebook,” and “Fast Delete Messages.”

I have even tried paid versions of these two Google Chrome extensions “Messenger Message Cleaner” and “Multiple Tools for Facebook (L.O.C)”.

Unfortunately, none of them have worked for me, and I am sure neither will work for you. So, I don’t recommend you waste your time trying suspicious extensions. Installing such unnecessary extensions and tools can bring unwanted viruses or giving access to your personal chat to these tools can be dangerous to your privacy as well.

Instead, go for the manual deleting options that Facebook provides. It might be tedious and time-consuming when it comes to deleting hundreds of text messages on Facebook messenger but believe me, below are the only ways available to delete multiple messages on Facebook messenger.
