You can unsend a message in Facebook Messenger, but only if you act quickly - within 10 minutes of sending it.
This feature can be a lifesaver if you accidentally send a message to the wrong person or say something you regret.
To unsend a message, go to the conversation, tap the three dots next to the message, and select "Remove".
It's not a guarantee, but it's worth a try if you need to delete a message immediately.

Removing Sent Messages on Facebook Messenger
Removing Sent Messages on Facebook Messenger is a feature that's been in the works for a while, and it's finally rolling out to some countries. You can remove sent messages for everyone or just for yourself, and there are some important things to know about how it works.
You have 10 minutes after sending a message to delete or edit it, and after that, it's gone forever. Facebook will retain a copy of the unsent message for a period of time to ensure it didn't contain any policy violations.
To remove a message, you'll need to tap and hold on it, and then select the Remove option. You'll get two options: Remove for Everyone or Remove for You. If you choose to remove the message for everyone, it will be permanently deleted from the conversation, but a notice will be left indicating that you removed a message.
If you remove a message, the recipient will still be able to report it, even if it's been deleted. Facebook is working to prevent bullying and harassment through this feature, and they're taking steps to ensure that users can't use it to cover their tracks.
Here's a summary of the steps to remove a message:
- Tap and hold on the message you want to remove.
- Select the Remove option.
- Choose whether to remove the message for everyone or just for yourself.
Keep in mind that removing a message will leave a notice in the conversation indicating that you removed a message. This is a permanent record, so be careful when deciding whether to remove a message.
