Edit Or Unsend Any Message
With iOS 16, Apple finally added the ability to edit or unsend messages you send with iMessage. This way, you’ll have up to two minutes to unsend and message and up to 15 minutes if you want to edit it.
Here’s how to edit or unsend a message:
- Open the Messages app.
- Find the message you want to get rid of. Press and hold that message.
- Tap on Edit or Undo send.
- If you selected Edit, change your message and then send it again.
Keep in mind that this feature isn’t perfect. For instance, you must have iOS 16 or later installed to use this feature, but even if you do, the other person also needs to have at least iOS 16 installed. If they don’t, they’ll still be able to read the message even if you delete it.
