How to Delete A Facebook Message Sent | New 2019

We have actually all been there in the past at one factor or one more-- you jump into Facebook Messenger and unintentionally fire off a message to the wrong team chat. Best case scenario you follow up with a "whoops, incorrect conversation" and also carry on, worst instance situation the remark had to do with a person in that team chat as well as now it's just an issue of time prior to all of it blows up in your face.

The current update to Facebook Messenger aims to solve those awkward situations by allowing the sender to erase a wayward message up to 10 minutes after it has actually been sent. Formerly, you were only able to erase messages from your very own view of the conversation.

Here's just how to save face on Facebook Carrier when you send a message to the incorrect person or group:

1. Long-press on the message you wish to remove.
2. Touch the Eliminate icon at the bottom of the conversation.
3. Tap Remove from Everyone.

4. Faucet Eliminate to verify the deletion.
5. Your Message will no longer stand for you or anybody else in the conversation and also if you're quick enough no person will have seen your message ...
6. ... however they will certainly see that you deleted something.

As you can see in those last two screenshots all parties linked in the chat will see that a message has been removed whether they saw the message before it was removed. It's also worth noting that this feature is unique to the full Facebook Messenger application and not Facebook Messenger Lite.
