Archive messages
Archiving your messages allows you to unclutter your Messages but keep message threads for future access.
Note that if a host or guest sends a new message in the thread, the archived message will return to your All messages folder.
Clear your Airbnb messages
Only full message threads between a host, co-host or guest can be archived – not individual messages.
