As reported on The Verge, this new feature was discovered in the code of version 191.0 of the iOS app, specifically in a section that indicates “coming soon,” noting that this new feature is not yet available.
Although users have not been able to explore this feature yet, their access to the Messenger app has been expected since April of this year, when Facebook admitted that they enabled the deletion of sent messages for its founder, Mark Zuckerberg.
In this sense, although the message removal window in Messenger will be much smaller than the one WhatsApp offers, this undoubtedly appears to be a response to the demand that app users have been calling for, especially with the buzz that occurred when Mark Zuckerberg used this feature over others.
