You know how FB messages can show you when the recipient of your message had seen it? Well, what if after a few days, that "Seen Thursday at 10:15 PM" disappears? Does that mean that the recipient had deleted your message?

Do most people delete their FB messages? I never delete my messages or my e-mails. Never know when they may come in handy somehow.

Doesn't everyone like Chocolate Ice Cream the best?

Come on.. of course some people delete the messages. Lost of people in this world and they all do things differently. I have 1,000's of text messages. Going back almost 2 years. My boss deletes messages as soon as he reads them. Doesn't like to "clog his phone".
Different strokes....

I delete unimportant (to me) messages). Why would anyone keep all that useless crap?

Because it doesn't hurt anything to keep them.

Why would anyone waste time trying to decide which messages are important and which ones aren't when any modern smartphone worth a crap, be it Windows, Android or Apple, can simply store them all for you???

And if one ever feels the needs to delete them, you can, en masse.

And on many phones, you can simply set a retention period or limit. (Only keep 1,000 messages from each sender or something similar).

Different strokes.

En masse? I get a message. I don't want to save it. I delete while I'm there. Not time consuming at all. Yeah, different strokes.

Re: En masse. Just saying if I ever feel the need to delete my 1,000's of TXT messages I can very quickly.

I only keep important messages for a short time that might contain something I'll need in the future like an address or phone number. If that info is critical in the long term I usually save it in another format and delete the message. I hate long useless text message threads and like to keep it clean and uncluttered, just the way I like doing it. Others have their own reasons for doing it there way. It's just a personal preference.
