How to Delete a Group Chat on Messenger

By

To delete a group chat in Messenger, your task is to remove everyone in the group first.

After removing everyone on the group, leave the group.

As a result, the messenger group will be permanently deleted.

On Facebook Messenger, you can find an option to remove group members.

Do not leave the group without removing everyone in the group, otherwise, existing members will still be able to chat.

Additionally, another group member will be assigned as the administrator role or admin.

Therefore, if you want to delete a group chat, you need to delete everyone in the group first.

Here’s a step by step guide on how to delete a group chat on Messenger:

Step 1. Tap on the top bar of the group

First of all, your task is to open the Facebook Messenger mobile app and log in to your account.

The desktop version of Facebook Messenger can also be used for this purpose.

I am using the mobile app for the sake of this guide.

After opening the Messenger, you need to go to the group that you want to delete.

Now, tap on the top bar of the group.

There is one more thing that you need to know that you can only delete a group if you’re an admin.

Step 2. Tap on “See group members”

After tapping on the top bar of the group, it will take you to the group settings.

Now, there are multiple categories there such as “Customization”, “Chat info”, “More actions”, and more.

The “See group members” option will be available under “Chat info”.

Before you remove the group, you need to delete everyone from the group first.

Otherwise, the people in the list can still chat in it.

Tap on “See group members” to start removing the members.

Step 3. Remove everyone from the group

After tapping on “See group members”, it will take you to the “Members” page.

After reaching the page, you’ll be able to see a list of members of the group.

Now, it is time to remove them from the group.

You can skip this step if there are no other members in the group.

To remove members, tap on a member and select “Remove From Group”.

Unfortunately, you cannot remove everyone in the group at once because there is no such option.

Therefore, you need to manually remove group members one by one.

Step 4. Leave the group

After removing everyone from the group, the only one left on the list is you.

So, you need to tap on yourself.

After tapping on yourself, you will see a couple of options.

The options are “View Facebook Profile” and “Leave Group”.

To leave the group, you need to tap on “Leave Group”.

You need to ensure that there are no members left in the group before you leave the group.

Otherwise, when you will leave them in the group, they can still chat there.

Step 5. Tap on “Leave”

After tapping on “Leave”, you will see a pop-up message.

The pop-up message will say that you can choose a new admin.

The full pop up message is: “You can choose a new admin from the people listed under Members”.

Followed by, “If you leave the group without choosing a new admin, the most senior group member will become the admin”.

Since there are no group members in your group, you don’t have to set a new admin.

Tap on “Leave” to get rid of the group.

After tapping on “Leave”, the group will be permanently deleted and it will also disappear from your chat list!

Final Words

You do not get an option to delete all group members on messenger at once, so you have to remove each group member manually.

When you remove members in a group, they will lose access to the group and they cannot chat in it.

However, they can still see the group in their chat list.

Additionally, the previous messages in the group are also accessible to them.

The only option they are left with is to delete the group from their chat list.

The process can be done by going to the group in their chat list, swipe left on it, tapping on “More”, and tapping on “Delete”.

This way, the FB messenger group will be permanently deleted.

How to Create a Group Chat on Messenger

By

To create a group chat on FB Messenger, you need to tap on the edit icon next to “Create a new group”.

After tapping on the “Create a new group”, the next task is to add members to the group.

In the end, tap on “Create” to create a group & start talking!

Whenever you add someone on a group chat, they do not know about it because they will not be notified.

They will be notified about the group once you have sent them a message.

Therefore, you need to ensure that you send a message to the group chat after creating it.

Otherwise, the group will not be created and you’ll have to add all of the members again.

Here’s a step by step guide on how to create a group chat on Messenger:

Step 1. Tap on the edit icon

First of all, go to the FB Messenger mobile app.

To do this, you can also use the desktop app of Facebook Messenger.

I have used the messenger mobile app for the sake of this guide.

After opening the app, you need to log in to the account in which you want to create the group chat.

After logging in, tap on the edit icon available on the top bar of the app.

Step 2. Tap on “Create a new group”

After tapping on the edit icon, you will be on the “New message” page.

The page will display a list of suggestions of FB friends.

Now, you’ll be able to create a new group as well as send a message.

Simply tap on the user that you want to text in order to send a message.

Since you want to create a group chat, you have to tap on “Create a new group”.

Step 3. Adding members to your group and create it

After tapping on “Create a new group, it will take you on the “New group” page.

The page has a list of suggested Facebook friends that you can add to your new group.

Then, you have to choose the users that you want to add to your group.

You can select them by scrolling down the list of suggested friends and choose the ones that are suitable for it.

On the other hand, you can also use the search bar to search for the users that you want to add and select them.

You can also name your group by entering it into the “Group name (optional)” field.

If you don’t choose a group name, the name of the group will be automatically set from the names of the users available in group.

For instance, if the group has two users, their names will be automatically set as the group name (e.g., abc, xyz).

After selecting the users that you want to add to your FB Messenger group, tap on “Create” on the top bar.

Step 4. Start Messaging

After tapping on “Create”, the FB friends that you’ve previously selected will be added to the group.

However, the group isn’t fully functional yet.

The group is not working because you haven’t sent a message yet.

The group will not be created if you don’t send a message.

If you will leave the group without sending a message, you need to create the group once again.

Additionally, this repeated process will also make you add all of the users once more.

Therefore, it is necessary to send a message to the group before you exit the application.

You need to make sure that you use the chat bar, type a message, and send it to the group chat.

After sending the message to the group chat, the users will be notified that you’ve added to the group (if their Messenger notifications are turned on).

They’ll be notified and will be able to see the group on their chat list.

Final Words

Creating a FB group chat on Messenger on iPhone/Android is simple as you just have to choose the members that you want to add.

Facebook allows you to add almost anyone to a Messenger group chat.

To add the members on a group chat on messenger, you don’t have to be friends with them on Facebook.

Use the search bar to search for the user’s name and you can add them.

When you do the search, it will show you multiple sections on the search results.

The sections are “Following on Instagram”, “More people on Messenger”, “More on Instagram”, and “Discover”.

If you are unable to find the user, you can add them on Facebook before you try to search them.

There are multiple options you will see on the settings page.

Facebook Messenger releases new themes once in a while, so you can check back later for the latest themes.

Step 5. Tap on “Select”

After selecting the theme that you have selected, you’ll be taken to the preview page.

  5. Tap on “Select” to confirm the theme change.

The changing of theme will only affect the chat that you have changed the theme in.

On the other hand, the rest of the chats will have the default monochrome theme.

Therefore, if you want to change the theme for other chats too, you need to do it one by one or individually.

Final Words

Changing Theme or background of the messenger is one of the features that can be used on the application.

The feature is also not common among users because most people do not use it.

Occasionally, Facebook Messenger releases new themes.

They have released various themes till now.

In 2021, they released three themes including “Olivia Rodrigo, World Oceans Day, Pride, and F9”.

If you are bored with the existing theme, you can check back every now and then to see if a new theme is available.

On the other hand, you can also go through the messenger blog for the latest news and announcements.

If you have any questions, you can contact Facebook Messenger @ messengercomms@fb.com.
