Facebook Messenger users to get 10-minute 'unsend' window

Version of feature that Mark Zuckerberg was caught using is now available to all

Facebook is launching an "unsend" feature in Messenger more than 10 months after it promised to do so after it was discovered surreptitiously removing messages sent by Mark Zuckerberg from their recipients' inboxes.

The company stopped using the secret feature, which it said it had built "to protect our executives' communications", when it was discovered in April 2018, and promised not to delete messages again until it could make "a broader delete message feature available".
