Facebook has started rolling out an update that lets you permanently delete a message that you accidentally sent to a contact in Messenger. The reaction time, however, is set to 10 minutes of sending the message. To permanently delete a message, you'll select the messages to be deleted and then tap on Remove for Everyone in the message options. Interestingly, this comes a year after Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg was found permanently deleting his messages amidst the Cambridge Analytica scandal. After the unification takes place, a Facebook user, for instance, will be able send an encrypted message to someone who has only a WhatsApp account.
