You might not be able to remove a message for everyone on Messenger if more than 10 minutes have passed since sending it. Messenger allows for the deletion of messages within a 10-minute window to prevent misunderstandings or to correct mistakes. After this period, the option to 'Remove for Everyone' disappears, and you can only remove the message from your own view. To avoid future issues, double-check your messages before sending or use the edit feature if available.
