Facebook Messenger Tests Disappearing Messages
Facebook is testing a disappearing message option with in its Messenger app in France, giving the users a option to have their messages self destruct one hour after sending them. The feature will bring ephemeral messaging to Facebook Messenger for the first time, taking a shot at Snapchat, the company’s biggest messaging competitor.
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. Starting today, 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. 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.
