The regular Messenger chat threads are as usual the ones where you can send a message and delete it on your side but that won’t delete it on the other side. No, you’ll always have to use the separate secret chat box if you want to do a secret chat. Tap on that and a new chat head will show up.ĭoes this mean I won’t be able to have the self-deleting messages on my regular chat box? Tap on the “i” icon of the top right on the chat window and you’ll then find the option for the Secret Conversation.

Only if your friend or contact has turned on Secret conversions, you’ll see an option to start it. It has to be a turned-on feature for both to start chatting secretly. Now that you have enabled the feature, you’ll need to have the other contact with the feature enabled. How do I start a secret self-destructive chat with a contact? Only in Messenger, you’ll be able to see these settings where the Secret conversations are a part of it. No, this feature is available only for Facebook Messenger, on which the social network is betting big and wants to see users adopt this platform for a better chat experience. I cannot use this feature on my computer, i.e. You will have to start a new secret conversation with a contact. But you are not done here because you won’t see all the conversations to be having this enabled. Here, tap on the first option to turn it on. In the Messenger app, go to Settings and then tap on “Secret Conversations”. Let’s explain how to do that and how to send these self-destructing messages to a contact on Facebook messenger using Facebook Secret Conversations.

Facebook has secretly introduced the Secret Conversations on its Messenger platform, and this comes as a move after the introduction of Allo app by Google, which also has the Incognito mode for private messaging where nothing is stored and you can choose to have a time set for the message to get auto-deleted.įacebook Secret Conversations work on Messenger app and they don’t work by default as you will have to turn it on from the Settings.
