This is different from Facebook Messenger’s vanish mode, which allows users to communicate without messages being archived in the chat history while the feature is active. People included in the conversation will still see these now-absent messages recorded in the chat history, but will be unable to read the original message unless they happened to read it before the deletion. When a message in a Facebook chat thread is unsent, a notification declaring that a person unsent a message will replace the deleted chat bubble.


It can also be accessed through as well as Messenger's mobile apps on iOS and Android. The 'Unsend' option is available to use through Facebook's Messenger tab within the main platform via the desktop app.
