Yes, they can be deleted using the Facebook iphone app or browsing to Facebook.com within Safari browser.

Using the Facebook app, go to Messages and locate the message that you would like to delete, then on swipe you finger over the message (from right to left), to reveal the "Delete" button. Then tap the delete button to permanently remove the facebook message.

Using the Safari browser, simply log into facebook like you would on your computer, then delete the message the same way as you would from your computer or laptop.

It is not deleted as what you have described above. When you swipe your finger over the message, the 'archive' button comes, not the 'delete' button. Facebook messages can not be deleted from iPhone Facebook app. It's final. Don't make people fool.

Actually, using the older facebook app you could in fact delete messages using the method explained above. However, the new version of the Facebook app currently does not allow you to delete messages in the method described above.

This could all change in a future update of the Facebook app. –  Answers  Oct 10th, 2012 at 7:47 AM

To delete a message in iPhone, Open Facebook in Safari, Open the Message you want to delete, then press the icon with an arrow on the top right corner and press delete then press done.
