Take back your words with Facebook

Have you ever wanted to take back a message you sent? Facebook recently made an unsend feature available in its Messenger app to do just that, after promising the ability to users more than a year ago.

In the user-friendly feature, simply tap the message, select “remove,” then select “remove for everyone.” The catch you ask? You have only 10 minutes to do so.

While the actual content of messages will be removed, in an effort to prevent abuse of the feature in scenarios such as bullying or harassment, a note will remain stating that a message was removed.
