Step 1: Accessing Messenger Settings
To remove suggested people on Messenger, you first need to access the app’s settings. Here’s how:
Opening the Messenger app
Launch the Messenger app on your device. You can find the Messenger app on your home screen or in your app drawer.
Navigating to the settings menu
Once you have opened the Messenger app, tap on your profile picture or avatar in the top left corner of the screen. This will open the Messenger settings menu.
Step 2: Managing App Settings
Once you are in the Messenger settings menu, you can begin managing the app’s settings, including suggested people. Here’s how:
Selecting “People”
From the Messenger settings menu, scroll down and tap on the “People” option. This will bring you to a new screen where you can find the “Suggested People” section.
Finding the “Suggested People” section
Within the “People” section, scroll down until you locate the “Suggested People” option. This is where you can view and manage the list of suggested people on your Messenger app.
Step 3: Removing Suggested People
Now that you have found the “Suggested People” section, you can proceed to remove the suggested people from your Messenger app. Here’s how:
Viewing the list of suggested people
Tap on the “Suggested People” option to access the list of suggested contacts. Here, you will see a list of individuals that Messenger recommends you connect with.
Deleting suggestions individually or in bulk
To remove a suggested person from your list, simply tap on the name or profile picture of the individual, and a small menu will appear. From this menu, choose the “Remove” or “Delete” option to remove them from the suggested people list.
If you have multiple suggested people that you want to remove at once, Messenger provides a bulk delete option.

Once you have selected all the desired contacts, choose the “Remove” or “Delete” option to remove them in bulk.

Ignoring suggestions
If you prefer not to remove suggested people but want to ignore the recommendations, simply ignore or dismiss the suggestions within the Messenger app. Over time, the app will learn your preferences and provide more relevant recommendations.
