Archiving is a great tool if you want to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Keep your inbox organized without losing important information.<\/li>\n<li>Hide conversations you don\u2019t want to see but may want to access later.<\/li>\n<li>Temporarily clear out messages without deleting them permanently.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Archived conversations are moved to a special folder where they remain until you choose to restore them. Archiving keeps the messages private, so you don\u2019t have to worry about others seeing them on your screen.<\/p>\n<h2>How to See Archived Messages on Facebook Messenger \u2013 Using Android.<\/h2>\n<p>Archiving a conversation hides it from your inbox until the next time you chat with that person.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li class=\"readability-styled\">Open the Facebook Messenger App. Facebook Messenger is a blue speech bubble icon with a white lightning bolt in it.<\/li>\n<li class=\"readability-styled\">Tap House. It\u2019s the icon that appears like a home, and it seems on the top left corner simply under the search bar.<\/li>\n<li class=\"readability-styled\">Press and hang on to a discussion. Doing so will expose a pop-up menu.<\/li>\n<li class=\"readability-styled\">Tap Archive. The discussion will be relocated to the \u201cArchived\u201d folder.<\/li>\n<li class=\"readability-styled\">Tap the blue speech bubble icon. It remains in the bottom-right corner of the screen, and doing so will begin a brand-new discussion.<\/li>\n<li class=\"readability-styled\">Key in the recipient of your archived message(s).<\/li>\n<li class=\"readability-styled\">Tap on the recipient\u2019s name. You will now see the archived messages from the discussion appear in the chat window.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div class=\"separator\">\n<p>In summary, to see all your archived conversations on Facebook Messenger, open the app and tap the menu (three horizontal lines) option. Thereafter, click on the Archive tab.<\/p>\n<p>To search for a specific archived conversation, follow these simple steps:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>From your Messenger Chats, tap Search at the top.<\/li>\n<li>Enter the person&#8217;s name in the search bar.<\/li>\n<li>Tap the person&#8217;s name to open the conversation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Note: You can unarchive a conversation and add it back to your inbox by sending the person a new message. Opening a conversation will not unarchive it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3>How to Find Archived Messages on Facebook Messenger \u2013 Using iPhone.<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li class=\"readability-styled\">Open the Facebook Messenger App. Facebook Messenger is a blue speech bubble icon with a white lightning bolt in it.<\/li>\n<li class=\"readability-styled\">Tap House.

It\u2019s the gray button with three horizontal lines stacked on top of each other.<\/li>\n<li class=\"readability-styled\">Tap Archive. The discussion will be relocated to the \u201cArchived\u201d folder.<\/li>\n<li class=\"readability-styled\">Tap the blue \u201c+\u201d icon. It lies in the leading right corner of the Messenger screen. Doing so will begin a brand-new discussion.<\/li>\n<li class=\"readability-styled\">Enter the recipient of your archived discussion.<\/li>\n<li class=\"readability-styled\">Tap on the recipient\u2019s name.
