Step 1. Tap on Menu and open the messaging app.

Step 2. Long tap on any conversation and select "Delete Thread" to remove that particular chat from your inbox.

Step 3. If you wish to erase all messages then tap on "Select All" and press the trash icon to remove the messages from your inbox.

This is how easy it is to erase messages from Android phones. Please note, that different brands will have different options to delete the messages. However, they will be more or less same as we mentioned above.
