delete messages in macOS version of messages

In iOS and iPadOS I can select several conversations and delete them all easily. In macOS I can only do one at a time. Talk about a PITA.


Or, please tell me I'm missing something!

iMac 24″, macOS 12.6

Hello,


In the Massages App on Mac you can use the traditional keyboard shortcuts to select multiple items then delete them at once.


Hold shift to select all items between the current message and where you click. Also you can hold command to select all messages you click while holding it down.


I hope this helps.
