How to Send and Delete Messages on Your PS4

You may send messages to other PlayStation users and delete undesired messages using the Messages app on your PS4, which functions in a manner that is essentially identical to that of the Messages app on your phone. Despite this, deleted messages are not completely removed from the servers of PlayStation Network. You are unable to remove messages in a way that is permanent because if you delete a message from a friend and then later message that friend, the previous messages will return as a part of the message thread.

Simply choose “Messages” from the menu on your PS4 controller to see whether you have any new messages. On the tab labelled “Messages,” you will be able to view any new messages that are awaiting your attention.
