Only two mins? Those drunk text will never be unsent in time lol

Why would it only be 2 minutes to remove a message? Why have a time window AT ALL? This is completely pointless. At that rate just don’t have an unsend feature at all.

Editing isn’t working for me. Anyone else?

[novman]

I’m so glad you can see the edited history of it lol.

Sending voice notes in iMessage is now ridiculous on iOS 16!

[establ.]

I love the *pop* sound when I undo send

[gentlemancharmander]

I like how it just explodes into particles

[BROVIBRATIONS]

Remember that both the receiver and sender must be using IOS 16 to be able to do any of this.

I don’t have Edit or undo? I have IOS 16

[NerdvsFat]

What a concise and well written video!

The receiver will see the mark 'edited' in their end. I hope Apple will change that the receiver won’t know if it was edited.

Why? Because my friend will ask me why I edited the message and I will waste time telling her - "I miss one word".

Apple your going above and beyond with the IPhone 14 pro your company is like WOW!

If any of you aren’t seeing the undo send or edit button go to settings and click messages and turn the MMS off. Remember you both must be using IOS 16 :)

[dmedeezy]

But will they still see it on lock screen notifications?

[kiara]

Ohh so you have 15 minutes and both parties need ios 16 that makes sense I like that touch of having a time frame because it would’ve taken advantage

[digitdude]

It let me edit a first but now it doesn’t. I am on ios16

[bedbanana]

So if u unsend the message does that message still appear on the other person’s phone
