Recall Facebook messages

Here's how

Recall Facebook messages in Messenger – How to recall Facebook messages in Messenger. But this is only possible in a certain time window and also only for your own messages. In this tutorial you will learn how to do this and why Facebook still saves deleted messages.

Facebook Messenger: Recall messages

In this article, we’ll show you what happens when you use the callback feature in Facebook Messenger. You’ve probably sent a message too soon or by mistake, or felt ashamed of it afterwards. Fortunately, Facebook Messenger offers users the option to permanently delete such messages. Initially, the Remove for All feature was introduced only in certain countries, but now it is available for almost all users.

Recall Facebook Messages - Subsequent Corrections

So you can easily delete a sent message from the recipient’s inbox up to 10 minutes after sending it. This is because Facebook wants to give users the opportunity to correct mistakes or incorrect information. Just as with WhatsApp, however, Facebook Messenger also shows the contact that a message has been removed. So be aware that sometimes a deleted message can have a message and users often ask why the message was deleted. So recalling messages does not work without leaving traces.

Measures against cyber bullying

By the way, did you know that the deleted messages are not completely deleted for the time being, but stored by Facebook for a while to prevent cyber bullying? This is the only way to track hate messages that have been reported but already removed. So it’s not an option to send mean or lewd messages and just delete them in the 10 minute window, because Facebook will still block you sooner or later.

Facebook Recall Messages - Messages Deletable for Both?

Many wonder if it is also possible to delete a sent message for both chat histories. However, this is not possible. That is, if someone sends you a message, photo or video, you can delete that message only from your side.
