We have actually all been there before at one factor or an additional-- you jump into Facebook Messenger and unintentionally fire off a message to the wrong group conversation. Best case situation you follow up with a "whoops, incorrect chat" as well as carry on, worst instance scenario the comment was about a person in that group conversation and now it's just a matter of time before it all blows up in your face.

The current update to Facebook Carrier aims to solve those awkward situations by allowing the sender to delete an errant message approximately ten minutes after it has been sent out. Formerly, you were only able to delete messages from your very own view of the conversation.

Below's how to save face on Facebook Messenger when you send a message to the incorrect person or team:

1. Long-press on the message you want to delete.
2. Touch the Remove symbol at the end of the chat.
3. Faucet Get Rid Of from Everyone.

4. Faucet Remove to validate the removal.
5. Your Message will certainly no more appear for you or anyone else in the conversation as well as if you're quickly enough no person will certainly have seen your message ...
6. ... however they will see that you erased something.

It's likewise worth noting that this function is special to the full Facebook Messenger app and also not Facebook Messenger Lite.
