Facebook Messenger will finally allow you to delete the messages sent on the platform of discussion in case you wish it. An action long demanded by users – since it is already on other platforms controlled by the company, such as WhatsApp – that will happen "soon", according to the social network itself.

It does this through the last update of the application, where in the reserved notes specify the news of it can read the following missive:

Deletes a message from a discussion after it is sent . If you accidentally send the wrong photo, incorrect information or message to a bad discussion, you can easily fix it by deleting the message within ten minutes of sending it.

Thanks to the controversy

That the possibility of erasing messages I would get to messenger at some point, we knew it since last April when the company decided to announce this measure after having learned that Zuckerberg and his leaders had erased their messages sent the last years C's is still a granite that added to the Cambridge Analytica scandal.

More than six months later, it seems that the functionality is ready to be implemented and offers this opportunity to the millions of daily users of the platform. However, he will follow behind WhatsApp regarding the time allotted for eliminating the messages because the ten minutes anticipated seem unfortunate compared to sixty of the first. Better than nothing.
