Finally Facebook has fulfilled its promise again. And finally, Messenger makes it easy to delete sent messages “for everyone” on Android and iPhone. If you regret what you wrote, you can go back and pretend nothing happened. However, you will have a limited time to carry out this action.
Only 10 minutes will separate you between deleting a Facebook Messenger message for both of you or just for you.Do not confuse deleting messages from the conversation with deleting messages for everyone. In this last case both users of the conversation will see how the message disappears It is possible that soon options will appear to see the messages that have been deleted, as it happens in WhatsApp.
How does this new Messenger feature work?
After 10 minutes, the delete button will be replaced by a new button that says "Delete for you". But in case if you arrive on time and delete the message, just like what happens in WhatsApp, the other user will see the text “The message has been deleted« . And sometimes you may have even seen the message. Well, in that 10-minute period, it's easy for the other person to have looked at the text on her smartphone.
The good thing about this option is that you won't be able to delete or modify messages after 10 minutes, a more than fair limit to prevent someone from manipulating conversations. The process for deleting a message is really simple.
How to delete a message from Facebook Messenger for everyone?
The steps to follow are:
- Make sure that no more than 10 minutes have passed since the message was sent, otherwise the option doesn't work.
- Hold down on the message of the conversation and the bottom bar will be displayed, in which the option “Delete“ will appear, as until now.
- However, when clicking on the option, you can choose between “Delete for all” and “ Delete for me«.
If you choose "Delete for everyone", the message will be deleted from the conversation and in its place will be an alert that it has been deleted, just like in WhatsApp.
In the image you can see the process that is carried out on iPhone, although it is exactly the same from the Messenger application for AndroidWithout a doubt, good news for all those who often make mistakes when sending messages. If you regret it, now you have a second chance, don't miss it!
