Mistakenly send someone an unsolicited message and would like to un-send or delete it without the receiver’s notice, then this guide is for you.
With this method of Instagram; the receiver Won’t know you even sent a message talking more of deleting(the message would be deleted for everyone).
Contrary to WhatsApp and Facebook which always show a “this message was deleted message” whenever a message gets deleted from a chat.
Nevertheless, They would still get a notification that you sent a message, but when it’s unsent, the notification text would change to ‘This message has been unsent’.
However, note that the message can still be reported if it goes against Instagram guidelines.

Without wasting much time, let’s get started.

- Select “Unsend-message” from the list.
- When done, you should get an unsent message notification on your screen


That’s all.
Kindly share the post and drop a comment below if you can delete a sent message on Facebook.
