New feature of Facebook Messenger .. to cancel messages sent

New feature of Facebook Messenger .. to cancel messages sent

Facebook has launched a new feature, the possibility of canceling the sending of messages within the Messenger platform Facebook Messenger for users of Android and iOS devices in a few countries


The initial information on this feature has appeared in the April / April of this year, Facebook was planning to launch after having several experiences, and screen shots of the new feature emerged over the past few weeks

The new feature is currently available to users in Colombia, Poland, Bolivia and Lithuania only, but is expected to be launched in other parts of the world soon. The feature allows users to remove any type of messages sent from the recipient's inbox within 10 minutes of transmission, Text messages, group chats, photos, videos, links, and more

Also maintains a Facebook message deleted for a little longer, so can verify the content of the deleted message in the event of receiving a communication misuse and violation of the policies of the site. Users can use the feature known as the "Remove for Everyone" for error or delete something sent by mistake, but they will not be able to modify the old history correct

Facebook continues to provide the old deletion feature, so that the sender can delete the message sent from his mailbox but will remain in the recipient's inbox.

The information indicates that Facebook also works on related features such as the ability to set the expiration date of messages or chat logs after a specified period of time. Although this feature may be useful for maintaining privacy, the platform must ensure that it is not misused

Stan Chudnowsky, MSN Product Manager, said: "There are many advantages to this feature, such as allowing users to control what they send and delete the message in the event of a mistake in order to correct it, and there are many acceptable use cases we want to provide, but we we need to make sure that we do not open any new doors to the bully, and we need to make sure that people do not send you offensive messages and Ihzvunha because you informed about them if there were no messages we can not do anything

The advantage now is different from that used to delete the letters of the old CEO Mark Zuckerberg secretly seven months ago, as these messages were not limited to a time limit of 10 minutes, and the deletion did not leave a "mark", a remark that usually refers to That the message had been deleted, which then constituted a violation of user trust and abuse of power of the company since users had no way to cancel the transmission of messages.

Facebook claimed that the move was to protect the privacy of its executives and business secrets. The platform after the penetration of Sony Pictures in 2014 made a number of changes to protect the communications of executives, including limiting the retention period of the company's CEO messages within Messenger

"We waited a long time before offering this feature because it was difficult to implement it because of the way Messenger worked, and we were concerned about the integrity concerns that would arise," said Stan Chodnowski. "Although it seems very simple, it is plagued with many technological and philosophical obstacles. That once you reach the level of 1.3 billion users around the world, the change from one model to another is more complex
