Facebook users can retract sent messages
The unsend feature is about to be added to Messenger after Facebook was accused of secretly deleting messages from Mark Zuckerberg.
Currently, after sending a message, users can only delete the content in their chat window, but the message still exists on the recipient's account. However, many people discovered that the message that the Facebook CEO had sent them suddenly disappeared from their inbox. Even the data downloaded from the Download Your Information tool was no longer there.
This raises suspicions that Facebook is breaking the law and wants to remove sensitive or confidential information that its CEO once shared.
Immediately after the above controversy, the technology siteVergeFacebook is reportedly planning to introduce a feature that will allow users to "unsend" messages, and Mark Zuckerberg is actually using a test version of the feature.

Since 2016, Facebook has rolled out the Secret Conversations secret chat tool, which allows sending messages that self-destruct after a certain period of time.However, to use it, users must enable that feature.
"We are planning to expand the feature to permanently delete messages from the system, but it will take some time to deploy. Until the feature is ready, we will not delete any more messages from leaders in the company. We regret not doing this sooner," said a Facebook spokesperson.
Facebook's new troubles continue to erode users' trust in the world's most popular social network, especially at a time when it is facing a scandal involving the disclosure of personal information of 87 million users./.
