Are you one of those who prefer a clean zero mailbox? Now you can transfer the same order to Facebook Messenger. We will tell you how to clear "tray" without deleting chats and messages.

Facebook's Messenger saw a significant spike in activity last year, with users spending more time on messaging as a result of the coronavirus pandemic shutdown, but also rooms popping up on Messenger during the pandemic, as well as a merger with Instagram.

The sum of these factors has saturated chats and messages on Facebook Messenger. But clearing or deleting chats and messages in Facebook Messenger is easy, but it's also possible to keep order without losing conversations. The trick is to archive conversations that saturate you with messages or that you don't want to see.

The best thing about archiving chats is that you literally save them and have access to them anytime on your computer so you won't lose any messages and have a tidy Messenger app on your phone.
