Deleting contacts on Messenger can be a necessary step if you want to declutter your contact list or remove someone who is no longer relevant to your social circle. Whether you’re using the Messenger app on your smartphone or accessing it through a web browser, the process is relatively straightforward. In this article, we’ll guide you through the steps to delete contacts on both platforms.
Deleting Contacts on the Messenger App
If you’re using the Messenger app on your smartphone, follow these steps to delete a contact:
1. Open the Messenger app and go to the “Contacts” tab.
2. Scroll through your contact list to find the person you want to delete.

4. Once in their profile, tap on the three dots in the top-right corner of the screen.
5. From the menu that appears, select “Delete Contact.”
6. Confirm the deletion by tapping “Delete” again when prompted.
Deleting Contacts on the Messenger Web Version
If you’re using the Messenger web version, the process is quite similar:

2. Log in to your account if you haven’t already.
3. Click on the “Contacts” tab on the left-hand side of the screen.
4. Scroll through your contact list to find the person you want to delete.
5. Hover over the contact’s name and click on the three dots that appear next to their name.

Additional Tips
– Before deleting a contact, it’s a good idea to check if you have any pending messages or unread messages from that person. If you do, you might want to address those first.
– If you accidentally delete a contact, you can always add them back to your contact list. Just go to the “Contacts” tab, click on the “Add Contact” button, and search for their name or phone number.
– Remember that deleting a contact on Messenger will not remove them from your phone’s contact list. If you want to delete them from your phone as well, you’ll need to do that separately.
Deleting contacts on Messenger is a simple process that can help you maintain a clean and organized contact list. By following the steps outlined in this article, you’ll be able to remove unwanted contacts from both the app and the web version with ease.
