The mobile messaging service Telegram, created by the exiled founder of Russia's most popular social network site, has emerged as an important new promotional and recruitment platform for Islamic State. The service, set up two years ago, has caught on in many corners of the globe as an ultra-secure way to quickly upload and share videos, texts and voice messages. It counts 60 million active users around the world. Picture taken November 18. REUTERS/Dado Ruvic

Regret a message you sent over Telegram years ago? Users can now delete messages in private chats, with no time limit to when it can be removed.

Telegram says they are removing the time limit for its Unsend feature, which allows users to delete messages sent or received, from both sides in any private chat.
