How to Delete All Messages In Facebook

Over the past month 2 of my Facebook good friends have actually had their accounts hacked (that I know of). In both of these situations the hacker chose to go through the person's Facebook emails to review all of their messages and afterwards make use of that info to message their close friends-- impersonating them. I was one of those individuals that each hacker messaged. It was a sobering experience to recognize that someone might possibly have access to every one of your personal discussions that you've had with family and friends, going back for years!

After this experience I determined that I wanted to erase every one of my previous Facebook messages to ensure that if I was ever hacked, at least I could restrict what they would have accessibility to. But I found that this wasn't as simple as you would certainly assume as there is no worldwide "Erase All" option for Facebook messages and also discussions. Instead, you need to click into each conversation, click on the "Activities" button, and also choose "Remove Conversation". To do this for the numerous discussions that I've had on Facebook over the past several years would have been much too taxing. Nevertheless, I did discover a fantastic plug-in for the Chrome browser called Facebook-- Remove All Messages that worked.
