So, in this article, we are going to be using two devices (Android and iPhone) to demonstrate how you can view your archived messages on Facebook Messenger, and also how you can archive your messages. So stay with me while I take you through the steps involved.
What Is Facebook Message Archive
To archive, a message on Facebook simply means to hide that message from your inbox until the next time you chat with that person. Remember that to archive a message is different from deleting a message, because to delete a message permanently removes that message from your inbox, with archiving it temporarily hides it from view.
