Facebook Messenger Is Introducing A New Feature Which Allows You Delete Sent Messages

Oops! Did you just send something you didn't want to send on Facebook Messenger?

How embarrassing did it get? Oh! You wished there was a way you could have deleted it immediately!

Well, you'll soon have up to 10 minutes in which to erase it from the internet forever.

While it’s true that you can already delete messages from Messenger, they only disappear from your own device and not from those who receive it.

The update that will allow you to remove a message from your Messenger chats is “coming soon,” Facebook said this week.

Confirmation of the upcoming feature is contained in the release notes accompanying the latest update for Facebook’s stand-alone messaging app. The final paragraph reads: “Coming soon: Remove a message from a chat thread after it’s been sent. If you accidentally send the wrong photo, incorrect information or message the wrong thread, you can easily correct it by removing the message within ten minutes of sending it.”

We can recall that WhatsApp embraced this feature when you have the opportunity of one hour to take back your message. But Facebook messenger is introducing a time limit of 10 minutes to make you decision. Overtime, Facebook messenger might increase the time bound.
