What is the ‘Undo Send’ feature of iMessages on iOS 16?

Note that iOS 16 is currently available as a developer beta, while the iOS 16 public beta will be available in July. At this time, users are advised not to install iOS 16 beta for developer on the main iPhone because iOS 16 beta versions often contain many bugs during use.

Apple’s iMessage app has some new features in iOS 16, with the big three being the option to edit iMessage, undo iMessage messages, and mark text messages as unread. Below the content will focus on how to remove the operation to undo a message (called Undo Send by Apple) sent on iMessage.

– Open the Messages app on your iPhone running iOS 16.

– Find specific chats and messages that the user wants to recall.

– Long press the message.

– Tap on Undo Send.

Undo sending and the option to edit new messages work within 15 minutes of sending. Apple notes that when a user tries to undo sending iMessage messages that have been sent to someone running iOS 15 or earlier, they can still be seen by the user.

Users do not need to confirm the action, as soon as they open iMessage messages on iPhone, users will see a small animation where they explode and disappear.

One important thing to note, if the person isn’t on iOS 16 that the user sent and then taps undo sent message, Apple will give a temporary message that they “can still see your messages” friend”.

If the recipient of the original message is using iOS 16, they will receive a warning in the undelivered message thread.

Meanwhile, the message about iMessage being undone on both devices will be the same, meaning the other party will know the user has undone the iMessage message. So they will see that the other party is using the undo feature, even though the content inside no longer exists.
