One of the most innovative features recently rolled out to WhatsApp was the ability for users to remove messages within a given time frame. Interestingly, this feature has just been added to the Messenger app too. If you’ve ever accidentally sent an odd text, picture or whatnot to another party or in a group you would understand the novelty behind this wonderful feature that has been a favorite amongst users of WhatsApp for a while now.
The whole process on the Messenger app is similar to the way the feature was implemented on WhatsApp. To remove an already sent message, simply tap on the message you want to remove and select the option to “Remove for Everyone”. The removed message will be replaced by text alerting everyone in the conversation the message was removed. You will have a grace of just 10 minutes to remove a message after it has been delivered.
If you want to remove a message just for yourself, you can still do that anytime by selecting “Remove for You”. When you choose this option, the message will be removed for you, but not for anybody else in the chat.
The “remove message for everyone” feature is available for Messenger users around the world on the most recent versions of Android and iOS.
