Messages on Mac

I do not understand why it is not possible to select/delete multiple messages on Mac when it is possible to do so on iPhone. Can someone guide me on how to do so? Or exlain to me why it is not possible on Mac? Normally by holding the command or shift key you can select multiple items. Not in messages. It is very frustrating.


Mac mini, macOS 11.6

This is a frequently asked question.


In short - on macOS the deletion of multiple messages is not possible. Yes, it is possible on iOS but not macOS.


That is by Apple Design and there is nothing we user can do about it except Request from Apple to develops this feature for macOS
