Step 1: Open the Messenger App
Start by opening the Messenger app on your device. Look for the familiar Messenger icon and tap on it to launch the app. Make sure you are logged in to your account.
Step 2: Locate the Conversation
Once inside the app, navigate to the conversation that contains the message you want to remove. Scroll through your conversations or use the search bar to find the desired conversation quickly.
Step 3: Find the Message
Within the conversation, locate the specific message you wish to delete. You can easily identify it by scrolling through the conversation or using the search functionality within the chat.
Step 4: Long Press the Message
Now that you’ve found the message you want to remove, long-press on it. After a moment, a menu of options will appear on your screen.
Step 5: Delete the Message
From the options menu that appears, select “Delete” to remove the message. You may be prompted to confirm your action, so make sure to confirm the deletion when asked.
Step 6: Confirm Deletion
After selecting “Delete,” a confirmation dialog box will appear asking if you want to remove the message. Read the prompt carefully and choose “Delete” once again to confirm your decision.
Step 7: Message Removed!

Additional Tips
Here are some additional tips to help you manage your messages on Messenger:
- If you want to delete an entire conversation, follow the same steps but long-press on the conversation instead of the message.
- Remember that deleting a message only removes it from your side of the conversation. The other person may still have a copy of the message on their device.
- If you accidentally delete a message, there is no way to undo the action. Be sure to double-check before confirming the deletion.
- Regularly declutter your Messenger by deleting unnecessary conversations and messages.
By following these steps, you can easily remove unwanted messages from your Messenger app. Keep your conversations clean and clutter-free with this simple guide. Happy messaging!
