How to Delete All Facebook Messages

Over the past month two of my Facebook pals have had their accounts hacked (that I know of). In both of these instances the hacker chose to go through the person's Facebook e-mails to check out all of their messages and then use that information to message their close friends-- posing as them. I was one of those individuals that each hacker messaged. It was a sobering experience to recognize that a person might potentially have access to every one of your personal conversations that you have actually had with family and friends, going back for many years!

After this experience I determined that I wanted to delete every one of my previous Facebook messages so that if I was ever hacked, at least I might limit what they would certainly have access to. However I discovered that this wasn't as simple as you would certainly assume as there is no worldwide "Remove All" choice for Facebook messages as well as conversations. Instead, you have to click right into each discussion, click on the "Actions" button, and choose "Delete Conversation". To do this for the thousands of discussions that I have actually had on Facebook over the past several years would certainly have been far also time-consuming. Nevertheless, I did discover an outstanding plug-in for the Chrome web browser called Facebook-- Erase All Messages that did the trick.

How To Delete All Facebook Messages

The process is simple. Open your Chrome internet browser as well as navigate to the plugin. Click "Add to Chrome" in order to download/install the plugin. It presently has over 82,000 individuals as well as I found it to be virus/bug-free as of two weeks back, so I can highly recommend it.

Once it's installed, merely authorize into Facebook. Open the complete messages window and also click the plugin symbol that remains on the much right of the address bar.

Then click "Introduce". It will remove all the messages on that particular whole web page. If you have a lot of old messages you may require to scroll down and also click Introduce a couple of times up until they're all gone.

Yet within a couple of minutes you need to be eliminate all your old discussions, and they will not re-emerge when the person messages you once more. You'll have a fresh start!
