If you are an avid Facebook Messenger user, you may have noticed that people you arent friends with will appear in your Messenger app as suggested people. Although this is intended to be a way for you and your potential Facebook friends to connect, at the same time, some people find it intrusive and an invasion of privacy. But dont worry, there is a way to remove suggested people from appearing in your Messenger sidebar.

First and foremost, you should have the right to know how they got there in the first place. Without realizing it, you probably granted Facebook access to your contact book on your Android or iPhone and your contacts phone number would have been uploaded to Facebook.

After that, Facebook will begin suggesting people from your contact books friend list with whom you are not already friends and you might know them. In addition to being recommended as friends, they also appear in your Messenger sidebar.

These contacts you uploaded will help Facebook to make better suggestions for you and other people and help the platform to provide a better service.

Even if you did not grant Facebook direct access to your address book, you might have indirectly granted it when you signed into Facebook from the Settings preferences pane.

Here you can find a complete guide on how to remove suggested people on Messenger.

Sounds good? Lets get started.
