Facebook Messenger for iOS has said that the ability to “unsend” messages will be coming soon the application. The upcoming version (191.0) of the messaging app says that users will soon be able to remove a message from a chat thread after it’s been sent.
The unsend option will allow Messenger users to delete sent messages from their own inbox as well as their recipient’s inbox.
The Patch notes that: “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,” the patch notes state.
It should be noted that this ten-minute window to delete a sent message for both yourself and the recipient is a lot shorter than the one-hour period offered by the Facebook-owned WhatsApp.
There is currently no confirmed launch date for the feature on the iOS version of Facebook Messenger.
