Facebook's Messenger app is easy to use, but your messages can still get unruly if you're not diligent. Digging through an overflowing Messenger inbox can be as daunting as sifting through dozens of unread emails.
Luckily, Facebook offers plenty of tools to help manage the clutter. Here are some tips to help you cut through the stream of messages to find the ones that are truly important.
Start by deleting old message threads.
There are some cases where you might want to erase a message immediately after the conversation is finished, especially if it's about a personal matter. Here's how to do it.
To delete a single message thread in Facebook's Messenger app for the iPhone, find the message you'd like to delete and swipe it from the right to the left of the screen. Then tap the "Delete" button if you'd like to erase it, the "Mute" button if you'd like to keep the thread but stop all notifications for it, or the "More" button to archive it, mark it as spam, or mark it as read.
On the desktop:
Simply open the conversation you'd like to erase and tap the settings icon to access those same options.
On Android:
To delete a message thread on Android, find the conversation you'd like to delete from the list, press and hold down on it, and select the "Delete" option. There are also a handful of other useful actions in this list, such as "Archive," "Mark as Spam," "Leave Group," "Mute Notifications," "Mark as Read," and "Pin Group."
