Unsend Feature Coming To Facebook Messenger Users Soon

If you are an active user of Facebook Messenger, you'd have been in situations where you send a wrong message to one of your friends or send a message which was meant for another person to a different person. If you have, then you'd understand how frustrating and annoying that is.
According to reports, you’ll soon be getting a feature that allows you to “Unsend” already sent messages. Earlier in April, Facebook Founder Mark Zuckerberg teased the feature and promised to roll it to all users. Three months has gone by and the feature still haven’t been rolled out.

However, it a user reported that the new “Unsend” message feature is in work and soonest users will get it.


The implementation seems pretty straightforward: long pressing on a sent message will give you options to delete it or unsend it. Deleting a message will remove it from your side of the conversation, while unsending it will remove it from the receiving party’s view, as well.

There's currently no indication as to when this feature will roll out to Facebook Messenger users but we’ll keep expecting.

Facebook Messenger is finally working on "Unsend Message" in the app for everyone!

As usual, Facebook is now rolling out a new feature called the Snooze feature to all users after a period of testing which occurred back in September. The new feature allows you mute a friend, page, or group for 30 days. Within this period, you would not see any of their updates on your News Feed.

Personally, I think this feature is really needed because certain people on my timeline are starting to talk about things that are of absolutely no interest to me while some updates are just really annoying, at least this will reduce the torture i have to go through everyday reading these updates.

I know what you're thinking ("Why don't I just unfriend them, right?) The thing is I don't want be seen as the guy that unfriends/blocks people on Facebook but most importantly I just to lazy to locate and press the "unfriend button".

However, if you're not like me and you actually have the time to unfriend someone, then you can stick with that.

New features have gradually appeared with some being more popular than others. Instagram stories was recently introduced to compete with Snapchat, this is perhaps the biggest change so far as it seems to have been quickly accepted by most users.

The latest change announced on Instagram’s official Twitter feed is Pinch-to-zoom, with the latest update of the Instagram app you can now pinch-to-zoom allowing a closer look at the images.
This new feature allows you to zoom in on images and it's a bit surprising that Instagram just adding this feature.

The new zoom feature is kind of unnecessary if you use Instagram on a tablet or laptop. It is more useful on smaller screens or if you want to zoom in to see something hidden in an image.

The new zoom feature works on both photos and videos, and in the profile, feed, and explore sections of the app. Before you go checking for the update, sadly the feature is only being introduced on iOS at the moment but I assure you it will be hitting playstore any time from now.
