Anyone logged into their Facebook or Messenger account who's in your call or joins later will be able to see, receive and keep a record of any messages you or anyone else sent in the call's chat. This includes messages sent before they joined the call and after they left the call.
People who are removed from a call will also be removed from the call chat, but can still see and hold onto the messages that were sent before they were removed if they search their archived conversations.
Keep in mind that people can only join the call chat by entering the call. People who anonymously join the call using a link without logging into their account will not be able to see or enter the chat. Learn about what to do if you feel uncomfortable in a call.
