See how you can send messages to Facebook Messenger that will be deleted automatically after the time you specify.
There may be times when you want to send confidential messages on Facebook Messenger, such as a code access or a credit card number etc. In such cases, you can send messages that disappear automatically after some time. See this guide on how to send a self-destructing message on Facebook Messenger through Android and iOS.
The specific mode of messages that are automatically deleted, it is referred to as Secret Conversation, and Facebook has introduced it since in November 2020.
Unfortunately you can not use it in the Web version, as it is only available in the Facebook Messenger application for Android and iOS. Therefore, if you want to send self-deleting messages to Facebook Messenger you need to do the following via a mobile phone. Our example refers to an Android phone, but you can do the same on the iPhone. The steps are the same, with minor differences in the user interface.
Step 1: Open the Messenger application on your mobile.
Step 2: Click the new message to compose a new message.
Αρχικά, πρέπει να ανοίξετε την εφαρμογή Messenger στο κινητό σας και να πατήσετε το κουμπί "νέο μήνυμα" που έχει ένα μολύβι, το οποίο σας βοηθά να γράψετε ένα νέο μήνυμα.
Step 3: Swipe to activate the Secret chat button.
Μόλις εμφανιστεί η επόμενη οθόνη, σύρετε το κουμπί "Μυστική συνομιλία " στην επάνω δεξιά γωνία, με το symbol of the lock.
Step 4: Select a contact to whom you want to send the self-destructive message.
After that, select a contact or friend from the list to which you want to send the self-destructive message. They can be more than one. You are basically keeping your conversation secret and you could have two open conversations with the same person. One secret and one normal.
Step 5: Click on the clock icon, select the time the message will be deleted and press the OK button.
Tap on the clock icon visible at the bottom and select a time appearanceof your monument. Whatever time you choose, Messenger will delete the message once the recipient sees it. Your selection time counts from the time your friend sees the message. Once done, press the OK button.
Step 6: Enter the message and send it.
After that, you can enter your message as you would on a regular Messenger screen and send it to your friends.
Notes:
- For your information, you can send text, image, or voice messages that are corrupted or missing. However, if the recipient does not see your message, they will remain there in Messenger until they see it.
- Επειδή ο παραλήπτης θα δει το προφίλ σας και από κάτω το μήνυμα, μπορεί να μην προλάβει να το διαβάσει αν δεν ξέρει το κόλπο και "ψάχνεται" να δει τι ακριβώς έλαβε. Αν αναλωθεί να διαβάζει το προφίλ και εσείς έχετε ρυθμίσει το μήνυμά σας στα 5 δευτερόλεπτα να διαγραφεί, μπορεί τελικά να μην φτάσει ποτέ στα μάτια του.
