Step by Step Tutorial on Removing Non-Friends from Facebook Messenger Active List<\/h2>\n

Before we get into the nitty-gritty, it’s essential to understand that the steps below will help you tidy up your Messenger by removing non-friends. These are people you’ve interacted with on Messenger but aren’t connected to on Facebook. Let’s get started!<\/p>\n

Step 1: Open Messenger and go to the People section<\/h3>\n

Head over to Messenger and find the People icon, usually at the bottom of the screen.<\/p>\n

The People section is where you’ll find a list of everyone you’ve recently chatted with on Messenger, including non-friends.<\/p>\n

Step 2: Find the active list<\/h3>\n

Within the People section, you’ll see the Active tab. Tap on it to see who’s currently online.<\/p>\n

The Active list shows you all the people who are currently available to chat, including those non-friend contacts you want to remove.<\/p>\n

Step 3: Identify non-friends you want to remove<\/h3>\n

Scroll through the list and find the non-friends you no longer want to see in your active list.<\/p>\n

You can identify non-friends by looking for people who don’t have the "Friends on Facebook" label next to their name.<\/p>\n

Step 4: Remove non-friends from the active list<\/h3>\n

To remove a non-friend, simply tap on their name and select "Remove from Messenger" or press and hold their name and choose "Remove."<\/p>\n

By selecting "Remove from Messenger," you’re essentially blocking that person from contacting you on Messenger and they will no longer appear in your active list.<\/p>\n

Step 5: Confirm the removal<\/h3>\n

A pop-up will ask if you’re sure about removing the contact. If you are, press "Remove" to confirm.<\/p>\n

Once you confirm, the non-friend will be removed from your active list and they won’t be able to message you unless you add them as a friend on Facebook or unblock them in Messenger settings.<\/p>\n

After completing the above steps, your Facebook Messenger active list should be free of non-friends. You’ll no longer see those unwanted contacts when browsing your active list, making for a more pleasant messaging experience. Plus, you’ll have the peace of mind knowing that only your actual Facebook friends can see when you’re online and available to chat.<\/p>\n
