The removed message will then be replaced with a text alerting conversation participants that the message was deleted.
Facebook said its decision to make Zuckerberg's messages self-destruct was motivated by the Sony Pictures hack in 2014, after which executives' emails were leaked to the public.
You can try it now by tapping and holding on one of your messages until the "Remove" button shows up.
Facebook has finally come out with a life-saving feature where you can delete messages in a conversation on Messenger after you've sent them.
Last month, The New York Times reported that the company was planning to unite the back-end technology running Instagram, Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp on the consumer side.
It's also worth noting the message will remain on Facebook's servers despite being deleted from Messenger. Click on it, and you'll delete the message in question.

Pompeo also wanted to make sure other members of the coalition help keep ISIS from returning to Syria and Iraq. Russia, along with Turkey and Iran, is a guarantor of the ceasefire in Syria.
It imposed a stricter limit on how many times a message could be forwarded to individuals or groups, in response to what it said was "misinformation and rumours" on the platform.
Speaking to The Verge, Facebook said the new feature was based on Zuckerberg's one but it underwent "some improvements to provide broader functionality to people using Messenger".
"Happy Birthday, Facebook! 15 years today - and what a rollercoaster it has been", read the message released on Monday on the newspaper's opinion page and on Twitter, in the style of Facebook compilation videos. It deletes his messages in recipients' inboxes after a set period of time.
The feature is available now in Canada and worldwide for iOS and Android users, rolling out today.
Facebook's simplified Messenger 4 cuts tabs and doubles down on Stories. If somebody sends you some unsolicited shit and then deletes it, you will still be able to report it to Facebook.
