How can I completely delete a messenger conversation? Is it even possible? If I’m talking to someone on messenger, and we both decide we want to delete the entire conversation, that should be possible with two button clicks.

I talk to my significant other on messenger. It gives me nightmares that any employee at Facebook could access that conversation at any time in the next thirty years.

It’s going to be really interesting when people from my generation start running for office. It’s conceivable a Facebook employee might think it’s “worth it” to check a candidate’s private messages, since he’s a racist Nazi and deserves it, or whatever.

Conceivable? It just happened. https://www.thedailybeast.com/we-found-shawn-brooks-the-guy-...

edit: not a candidate though, would be harder to punch down on someone with political clout and a legal team.

If you're worried about that Messenger supports end-to-end encryption, just hit the "Go to Secret Conversation" button.
