Delete Chat messages
Deletes one or more messages from a Chat conversation. For 1:1 conversations, provide the recipient’s user ID; the server constructs the canonical conversation ID from the authenticated user and recipient. Delete for all removes a message you sent (or, in groups you administer, any message) for every participant; delete for self removes any message only from your own view.
