The code indicates that in the current prototype there's a 'time limit' -- giving users only a certain amount of time after they send a message to unsend it," the report added.

The protype feature has been discovered six months after the social networking giant announced that it was in favour of buinding the "Unsend" functionality.

Facebook owned photo-messaging app Instagram already supports the "Unsend" capability and allows users to delete a sent message for all participants in the personal or group chat.
