The feature was first discovered and tweeted about by an engineer named Jane Manchun Wong in October while it was being tested. Amid the data breach and other scandals, the company had been silently deleting messages which were shared through Messenger by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg after which the company said that the ability to retract messages would also be made available to all Messenger users, media had reported in April, according to IANS.

However, no specific date has been announced by the company as to by when would the functionality be finally available for users.

Earlier in March, Facebook released the "delete for everyone" feature on WhatsApp that provides the users with an hour-long window to remove sent messages from the individual as well as group chats.
