In the course of using instant messaging platforms like Facebook messenger, there are times when you desire to get rid of contacts and also conversations for reasons that aren’t far-fetched. It could be for security reasons or your quest for peace of mind. Whatever the reason may be, here is a tutorial on how to delete someone from FB (Facebook) messenger.
There are disparities in the steps taken when deleting a Facebook friend on Messenger and the steps taken when deleting a non-facebook friend on Messenger. However, both procedures are quite easy and would be delivered in a comprehensive manner.
How To Delete A Facebook Friend From Messenger
This method is employed if you and the person became friends before the time you decided to take this action. As mentioned earlier, the steps are pretty much straightforward; all you’d need to do is follow the steps outlined below:
- Launch Messenger
- Tap the people icon and proceed to find the person you desire to delete from your messenger
- Proceed to tap on the info icon (The icon that looks like an exclamation mark)
- Hit the block button
- Now go back to your conversations
- Hold the conversation you had with the person and hit delete
Please note that in place of taking the action to block the user, you could unfriend them via the app or website before deleting their conversation on messenger.
How To Delete A Non-Facebook Friend From Messenger
Deleting a contact that isn’t your friend on Facebook isn’t far-fetched from what was discussed earlier under the previous heading. However, you don’t necessarily have to block or delete the contact, as we discussed under the previous heading.
- Open the FB Messenger app
- Tap the people icon and proceed to find the person you desire to delete from your messenger
- Hold down the conversation you had with the person and delete
Deleting the contact will basically stop you from being notified about the person on Messenger. Furthermore, messages from the individual will be stored in the request tab.
