Facebook is taking a leaf out of WhatsApp's book. The social network's IM platform, Messenger is testing an 'Unsend' feature. This is similar to 'Delete for Everyone' on WhatsApp. The new feature lets the user delete a message that has already been delivered to the recipient.
The feature was first talked about when Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg was accused of deleting messages from the inbox of various recipients. In what looked like a cover-up, the company went on to claim that they were testing a new feature that will delete a message from the recipient's end.
Similar to WhatsApp, there will be a time limit on being able to delete a message but it hasn't been specified yet.
