    Now you can clean up your Facebook messenger inbox without deleting chats and losing message history using this Chat archives feature. This feature will allow you to keep your inbox manageable & tidy by archiving the inactive conversations you can access anytime in your future (just like you do in WhatsApp messenger).

    Users can access this feature by:

    • Swiping left on a chat from the inbox screen to archive it. You just have to tap on the purple button to send the chat in the archive box.
    • Later you can access the archived chat by tapping on their profile photo on the mobile messaging app. Here you will find the complete list of archived discussions, and you can select the one you are looking for.

    2) New Themes

    The Facebook messenger has introduced new messaging themes from the New Star Wars theme to Netflix’s Selena to make the chat experience more fun and exciting. Here is the example:

    2) Inbox Seen Status

    Now users can find out when the person has viewed their message with the recent Inbox seen status. By accessing your inbox, you can check whether the person has seen your message or not. If the person has seen the message, a text snippet will be visible beneath your message as a notification. This feature was also available previously, but you had to open that chat window, but now it can be viewed without opening the window.
