How to Delete Contact from Facebook Messenger
Facebook Messenger is a popular messaging platform that allows users to connect with friends and family. However, there may come a time when you need to delete a contact from your Facebook Messenger. Whether it’s due to privacy concerns, a falling out, or simply wanting to declutter your contact list, deleting a contact is a straightforward process. In this article, we will guide you through the steps to delete a contact from Facebook Messenger on both mobile and desktop platforms.
On Mobile Devices:
1. Open the Facebook Messenger app on your smartphone or tablet.
2. Navigate to the “Chats” tab, which typically appears at the bottom of the screen.
3. Scroll through your list of contacts until you find the person you want to delete.
4. Tap on the contact’s name to open the chat.
5. At the top of the chat screen, you will see three dots (menu icon) on the right side. Tap on this icon.
6. A menu will appear with various options. Select “Delete Chat.”
7. A confirmation message will pop up. Tap “Delete” to confirm your decision.
On Desktop Computers:
1. Open a web browser and log in to your Facebook account.
2. Click on the “Messages” icon on the left-hand side of the Facebook page.
3. You will be taken to the Facebook Messenger interface. Scroll through your list of contacts until you find the person you want to delete.
4. Hover over the contact’s name, and a small menu will appear. Click on the three dots (menu icon) next to the contact’s name.
5. From the menu, select “Delete.”
6. A confirmation message will appear. Click “Delete” to confirm your decision.
Deleting a contact from Facebook Messenger is a simple process, but it’s essential to note that this action is irreversible. Once you delete a contact, you will no longer be able to see their messages, call them, or send them messages in the future. If you change your mind later, you will need to add the contact back manually.
It’s also worth mentioning that deleting a contact from Facebook Messenger does not delete them from your Facebook friends list. If you want to remove them from your friends list as well, you will need to do so separately from the Facebook website.
By following these steps, you can easily delete a contact from Facebook Messenger and maintain a clean and organized messaging experience.
