For about 2 weeks now, Facebook has started recording chat messages to my messages inbox. Is there a way to stop this? I'm constantly getting notifications when I'm chatting that I've got a new message, it's extremely annoying.
Also, is it possible to delete these from the inbox? The only option I see is to archive them, not delete.
Best Answer
You can delete the chat history in your inbox by opening the message/chat history and clicking "Actions | Delete Messages". Then at the bottom, click "Delete All". Confirm your choice, and viola, your chat history is no more.

And also by that help article, it looks like the option to not save chat history is impossible.
