Why wont it let me delete a message on Messenger?

It is possible that you are not able to delete a message on Messenger for a variety of reasons. For example, if you are trying to delete a message that was sent to a group, it may not be possible to delete it due to the way Messenger is designed.

Additionally, if the message was sent from or to a device that does not support this feature (such as an older phone or tablet), you may not be able to delete the message. Additionally, if you are using Messenger via an internet browser, this feature may not be available to you as it requires the Messenger app in order to delete a message.

Finally, it is possible that a system issue or other technical problem is preventing you from deleting the message. To troubleshoot, you may want to try logging out of your account and logging back in, or you may need to reinstall the app to see if that helps.

What do you do when pictures won’t delete?

When pictures won’t delete, the first thing you should do is check to make sure you have permission to delete them – if the photos are in a shared folder or on a social media account, you may not have the necessary permissions.

Once you confirm you can delete them, try restarting your device, as sometimes things can get stuck in the internal memory. You can also try to delete them from a file explorer or cloud service, like Dropbox.

If they still won’t delete, try connecting the device to your computer and deleting from there. If that doesn’t work, you may need to reset the entire device to fix the issue.

Why do photos reappear after I delete them?

The most likely reason why photos reappear after you delete them is because they are stored on your device’s cloud storage. Whenever you delete a photo, it doesn’t necessarily mean it is gone forever–it is just moved to a separate folder on your cloud storage.

This is why you might see your deleted photos reappear when you open the Photos app or turn on iCloud Photos.

Another possible reason why this might be happening is that you may have multiple backups of the same photos on different devices. For example, if you have several iPhones or iPads that are synced together and all use the same iCloud account, you will be able to see the same photos on multiple devices.

If you delete a photo from one of them, it might still appear on the other devices, unless you delete it from all of them.

It’s also possible that you have a third-party app that automatically saves photos, and those photos have been stored in the app’s cloud, not necessarily on your device’s. Apps like Google Photos, Dropbox, and Microsoft OneDrive, can all save your photos in the cloud, and if you delete them, they will reappear after the app retrieves them from its cloud storage.

To prevent deleted photos from reappearing, you can go into your device’s settings and disable iCloud Photos, turn off other backup services, or delete the photo from both the device and the cloud.

Why can’t I delete photos from iPhone messages?

You cannot delete photos from iPhone Messages because the photos are actually stored in the Photos application. If you want to delete the photos from your iPhone, you need to delete them from the Photos application.

You can also delete the conversations from the Messages app, but the photos will remain in the Photos app. This is due to Apple’s security and privacy measures to ensure that all photos sent and received through the Messages app are not permanently deleted.

Getting rid of photos on your iPhone is a straightforward process. First, open the Photos app on your device and select the photos you want to delete- you can select multiple photos at once. Then tap the trash can icon in the bottom right corner of the screen.

You will be prompted to confirm the deletion. Once you confirm, your photos will be permanently deleted. You can also delete photos by opening each photo individually, tapping the Share button in the lower left corner and selecting Delete from the dialog box.

Why do my photos take up so much storage on my iPhone?

Your photos take up a lot of storage on your iPhone because of how large the files are. In order to capture a image in high resolution and quality, it requires a lot of data, thus taking up more space on your device.

It is also important to note that every time you add a filter or edit a photo, this increases the file size. Additionally, if you are using iCloud to store photos, then each photo will have an original copy as well as an edited copy stored in your cloud, further increasing storage usage.

Lastly, videos also take up a lot of storage, as the resolution and length of the video would further increase the size for storage.

Can you Unsend photos in Messenger?

Unfortunately, you cannot unsend photos in Messenger after they have already been sent. Once a photo has been sent, it typically cannot be reversed or undone. That said, you can always delete the photo or conversation thread, or block the person who sent you the photo if you’d prefer that they not have access to you or your media.

In addition, if you are sending these photos over a secure messaging app like Signal or Telegram, you may be able to delete the photos from both parties devices if the messages have not been read yet.

For future engagements, it’s best to set ground rules with the person you are engaging with and to use caution when sending photos over any type of messaging service.

Why can’t I remove a photo for everyone on Messenger?

Unfortunately, it is not possible to remove a photo for everyone on Messenger. Once a photo is shared by a person or a group on the Messenger platform, it is stored in the servers of Facebook and can’t be deleted for everyone, including the sender of the photo.

The sender will only be able to delete the photo for themselves, which will remove it from the conversation in which it was shared. However, the photo will remain available to anyone else who has received the photo link in Messenger or a social platform, or who has saved the photo.

For this reason, it is important to use caution when sharing sensitive photos and messages on Messenger to avoid possible mishaps.

Does deleting a conversation on Messenger delete it for the other person?

Unfortunately, deleting a conversation on Facebook Messenger will not delete it for the other person. Even if the conversation is deleted, the other person will still be able to see the messages in the conversation.

What is vanish mode on Messenger?

Vanish Mode on Messenger is a new privacy feature that allows users to have ephemeral conversations. With this feature, messages and multimedia sent during these conversations will automatically disappear after they have been seen or after a certain amount of time, leaving no trace of the messages in either party’s chat history.

This feature is intended to provide users with additional control over the privacy of their chats and personal information. In Vanish Mode, any media sent will be removed from both sides’ memories. Additionally, messages sent in Vanish Mode will not be able to be seen by anyone, even if the chat is shared or screenshotted.

This feature can be enabled by a user in a chat with another individual by swiping up anywhere in the chat. Both participants will then be alerted that Vanish Mode is enabled and all of the messages that follow will be removed automatically once seen.

When a user decides they want to leave Vanish Mode, they can just swipe up and disable the feature.

What do people see when you delete Messenger?

However, if someone sends you a direct message, they will not be able to send it to you if you delete your Messenger account and will instead get a message that you are not available. If people try to search for your profile, they will not be able to find it, and if you have a profile attached to your account, it will be removed and no longer visible.

What happens when you delete a conversation on messages?
