Facebook is going to introduce a new 'disappearing messages' feature

Nov 13,
Facebook in a statement,
"We’re conducting a small test in France of a feature that allows people to send messages that disappear an hour after they’re sent.

"We’re excited to announce the latest in an engaging line of optional product features geared towards making Messenger the best way to communicate with the people that matter most."

New feature, which allows users to send 'self destructing' messages that disappear after one hour.
The feature is available on iOS and Android, but is currently only present in France. It is not known when, or if, the feature will be rolled out to other regions.

Users will be able to send the self-destructing messages by tapping a small hourglass icon on the top right of the Messenger screen. Anyone in the conversation can turn the feature on or off within each thread.

Disappearing messages gives people another fun option to choose from when they communicate on Messenger. We look forward to hearing people’s feedback as they give it a try."
