How to Erase All Facebook Messages

Over the past month 2 of my Facebook friends have actually had their accounts hacked (that I understand of). In both of these instances the cyberpunk picked to experience the individual's Facebook e-mails to read all of their messages and then make use of that information to message their friends-- impersonating them. I was one of those individuals that each hacker messaged. It was a sobering experience to recognize that someone can potentially have access to all of your personal discussions 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 past Facebook messages so that if I was ever hacked, at least I might limit what they would have access to. However I uncovered that this had not been as simple as you would certainly believe as there is no global "Delete All" choice for Facebook messages as well as discussions. Instead, you need to click into each discussion, click on the "Activities" button, and select "Remove Conversation". To do this for the thousands of discussions that I have actually carried Facebook over the past numerous years would certainly have been far also lengthy. Nevertheless, I did locate an amazing plug-in for the Chrome browser called Facebook-- Delete All Messages that worked.
