How to Remove Someone from Messenger without Blocking– Are you getting annoying messages on Facebook Messenger from random users? We can help!
Getting meaningless messages from random Facebook Messenger users can be very annoying, especially if you’re the type that values your online presence.
With that being said, you might be looking for a way to remove someone on Messenger without blocking them.
Unfortunately, Facebook does not provide a remove button in Messenger. In 2020 Facebook updated Messenger and changed the ‘delete’ button to ‘block.’ So, removing someone on Messenger is not very straightforward. You will have to find alternate methods to do this.
This guide will explain how to remove someone on Messenger without blocking them.

How to Remove Someone from Messenger?

To remove a user from Facebook Messenger, follow the steps outlined below:
  • Open the Messenger app smartphone.
  • Click on the People icon on the bottom right side of the screen.
  • Now, click on the contacts icon on the top right.
  • Find the person you want to remove from the list and tap on the info icon.
  • Slightly scroll down and see the block option, tap on the block button, and choose “Block on messenger” and “Block on Facebook.”
  • After you tap, you will again be redirected to Facebook, and finally, tap the ‘Block” button again to confirm.

How to Remove Someone from Messenger Group Chat?

Follow the steps below to remove someone from Messenger group chat:
  • Open the Messenger app on your phone.
  • Go to the Messenger group to remove the member.
  • Click on the Members icon. You’ll find all the group members listed here.
  • Click on the profile you wish to remove.
  • Tap on the “remove from group” option in the profile.

How to Remove Non-friends?

You may have someone you don’t know in your contact list, and this happens because you have enabled your phone contacts to sync with Messenger.
For this reason, you may get tons of unwanted messages. If you only wish to receive messages from your Facebook friends and not your contacts, remove non-friends from Messenger.
Here’s how:
  • Open the Messenger app
  • Navigate to the People icon at the bottom right of the screen
  • Find the non-friend that you want to remove
  • The contact icon will then appear on the top of the screen
  • Now, tap on the info icon
  • Tap the “Remove contact” displayed on the screen and then “Remove” confirm.
Here’s how you can bulk remove non-friends:
  • Open the Messenger app on your phone.
  • Click on your profile picture in the top left corner.
  • Scroll down to find the “Phone Contacts” option.
  • Here click on Manage contacts. You’ll find all your phone contacts that are added to the Messenger.
  • Click on “Delete All Contacts” to remove these contacts from Messenger altogether.
