Facebook Messenger for iPhone and Android has got a new update that brings a host of new features. These include the Star Wars and Selena: The Series chat theme, new camera stickers, ability to reply to a specific message with a photo or video. There is also tap-to-record to easily record and send voice messages without holding down the record button.

In addition, users can now archive inactive chats with a swipe gesture and Facebook has finally made it a lot easier to find your archived messages. The company has added a new “Archived Chats” folder as a dedicated menu in Messenger 2021.

Now you don’t need to manually search for your archive chats. The new update lets you access the full list of archived conversations in one place. This comes in handy in case you don’t remember the person’s name or the group conversation you had archived.

Moreover, it is now possible to unarchive chats on Messenger without sending a message. This way you can move archived chats back to your inbox without bothering the receiver.

It’s worth noting that an archived chat will get unarchived automatically when you receive a new message in that certain chat.

Here’s how you can unarchive a conversation in Facebook Messenger.

On iPhone – Tap your profile picture at the top left and open Archived chats. Swipe left on a chat you want to move back to your inbox and tap the “Unarchive” icon. You can also swipe all the way to the left to unarchive a chat in a single gesture.

    The crazy and just plain old unbelievable thing is that we cannot delete all of them at once, has to be done one at a time and it takes 3 clicks to do each one, so way to go FB! How about a “delete all” option!?!?

    Utter nonsense!!

      I agree! It’s crazy you can’t do a “select all” in archived messages and do a dump. It’s gonna take me hours to delete archived messages.
      If I get some handy resolve to this issue, I’ll post or reply here!!
      Glad in not the only one in this situation ??

    This is stupid. I have chats from 2009! I deleted all of them on the pc, but on the mobile phone there still there. Next time I went on the pc, all the chats that I deleted are still there. You cannot permanently delete all of them at once.
