Why Do People Archive Messages

In my opinion, when someone wants a conversation to not be easily accessible, that is when they archive a conversation. For instance, if you don’t want your friends to know who you messaged, you can archive the conversation instead of deleting it. While deleting is an option for you, but that would erase the entire conversation with that person, and I don’t think some people would like to erase their history of a certain conversation.

How to Archive a Conversation on Facebook Messenger

Archiving a conversation is as easy as unarchiving a conversation on Facebook Messenger. However, the method for both of these is very different from each other. For archiving a conversation on Facebook Messenger, you have to follow the steps as mentioned below.

How to Unarchive a Conversation

There is no tab, and no setting on Facebook Messenger, or on Facebook, to unarchive a conversation. If you want to unarchive a conversation on Facebook Messenger, you will have to look for the person in the ‘search messenger’ bar, as it appears on the lefthand side panel of the first image shared above. Click on the name or the conversation with the person, whose conversation you have archived, and send them a message. It could be a simple ‘hi’, or even a blank message. This will automatically remove this conversation from the archived list of conversations, and will now be visible on your main screen for Facebook Messenger.
