Q&A for How to Delete Photos on Facebook Messenger

Only the receiver can delete the photo, within his account. In case this account is shared with you, then you can login into his/her account and delete the picture. Unfortunately, once a message or picture is sent, it cannot be undone from your phone.

As of February 2017 there is no longer a way to delete Facebook photos from your Messenger unless you delete the whole conversation, which can be done via the settings tool. Even after deleting a photo, the user you have sent your photo to will still be able to see it unless they delete it through their account by deleting the whole conversation.

Your messenger profile is also your Facebook profile. To delete or change your profile picture, you will need to log on to your Facebook account and delete it there. You can do so by clicking on your photo, going into settings and hitting the ''delete'' button. Or you can upload a new Facebook profile picture.

Turn off all connections from WiFi/data before it sends. When it says to retry sending the photo, select Cancel.
