After a very interesting publication that reported that Facebook’s security team was discreetly deleting messages sent by the company’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg to third parties via Messenger, it was the reason we learned about a new feature of the messaging app.
The news that emerged will probably please many.
The company said that this specific ability to withdraw sent messages will soon be available to all Messenger users. 
According to TechCrunch, the “unsend” function will be released in the coming months, although at the moment there is no more information about how to use it.
Messenger will essentially offer a chat function, where users will be able to set a self-destruct timer for messages.
It is not known whether the recipient will be notified of the deletion or before their inbox is deleted, but no matter how we do it, we are always talking about messages that have been sent by the “other side” with the childish logic of “they are mine, I do what I want.”
We have to agree that this feature adds an extra layer of security to your conversations. As long as the promise is followed through, of course.
“We’ve discussed this feature several times,” a Facebook spokesperson told TheVerge.
“We will be rolling out a broader message deletion feature. This may take a while, and until the feature is ready, we will no longer be deleting executive messages. We should have done this sooner – and we regret not doing so.”
It should be noted that the TechCrunch publication reported that old messages sent via Facebook by Mr. Zuckerberg were disappearing from the inboxes of users who had received them.
