Facebook will soon let you slide out of DMs

Facebook will soon let you unsend that embarrassing message you wish you’d never written.

The social network said Friday it would give users the ability to delete their messages after CEO Mark Zuckerberg and a few other high-ranking executives were found to have the feature and secretly deleted their old correspondences.

The troubled company told Tech Crunch that it began deleting Zuckerberg’s DMs following the 2014 Sony Pictures hack, but did not inform anyone about the deletions.

“We will now be making a broader delete message feature available,” Facebook said in a statement, adding that it would stop deleting any executives’ messages until the feature is ready to be rolled out to the social network’s 2.2 billion users.

“We should have done this sooner and we’re sorry we did not,” the company said.
