You can&#39;t unsend someone else&#39;s message on Instagram like you can your own. All you can do is delete the conversation. You can, however, remove other people&#39;s messages in Facebook Messenger, which has cross-app compatibility with Instagram: Tap and hold the message, and then select More &gt; Remove.
