There are several reasons why people delete their Facebook messages from the Facebook app or the Facebook Messenger app on their iPhones. While some do it because a conversation is no longer required, others do it simply in order to create more space on their phone. It’s an extremely common practice just like deleting emails and other unnecessary files and applications that are no longer needed on your iPhone.
Nowadays, it is not possible to delete your messages on the Facebook app or the mobile site of the social media. The messages can only be deleted via the Facebook Messenger app that is one of the most commonly used apps these days and allows one to be in constant touch with one's family and friends.
