Misunderstood. I gives you the option to delete the message prior to being read, which is the new feature. I thought he was asking about being able to delete others messages.

Right, it's a server side switch that's being rolled out... Possibly on personal ID + location basis, not based on your device type

Not based on location either as many ppl from the same location are having different results

As I said it's location (country) + personal device ID.
They started the roll out last week to other countries... And then roll it out slowly in that country etc now USA is part of the roll out but you still need to be included specifically in the roll out.

So the question is, do you update so you get the Recall functionality, or downgrade so you get to see everyone’s mistakes?  :D
