How to Clear Facebook Chat

Clearing Your Facebook Chat History

Facebook © 2008

Too much going on in your Facebook Chat IMs? Sometimes, after a few minutes of chatting, you might have enough mini-feed items and text to keep you scrolling for awhile to find your new message from a contact. Here is a simple way to keep things clean and clear during your Facebook Chat:

Clearing Your Facebook Chat IMs

With your Facebook Chat IM open, scroll to the top, locate and click on the link titled “Clear Chat History.” This will clear all the text and mini-feed information which preceded the last message sent (including that message), giving you a clean chat window by which you can continue to chat with your contact.

This feature does not, however, clear the conversation on your contact’s end of the chat.
