Facebook Messenger allows users to make video calls to their friends; once you do, someone viewing your Messenger conversation can see the call history.
While there is no issue with call history, the problem arises when you have a nosy family member or partner.
In that case, knowing how to delete calls on Facebook Messenger is handy.
To delete calls on Facebook Messenger, you can delete a particular call from your history by opening the video calls section, right-clicking on the call, tapping the “Delete” button, and finally clicking the “Delete” button again to confirm the action.
