Shoot the Messenger - Unsend Messages on Facebook

"Shoot the Messenger" is a Chrome extension that helps you unsend all messages in a Facebook Messenger chain, removing them from both your and the recipient's inbox. Designed for privacy-conscious users, this tool automates the process by simulating mouse clicks on Facebook's UI to ensure your messages are completely erased. Just open the thread and press 'remove messages', then relax while it works its magic.

It worked first time. though on a different thread it would only delete from my device, I ran a test with a friends device next to me and the messages were still on his from me

Hi, it worked, but i would like to delete all chats, can you developer a extension for this?

It removed every message but only for me. It wasn't the unsend for everyone button.
