Are You Here For This? Apple Will Soon Allow You To Edit Or Unsend iMessages!
Is Apple finally giving customers what they’ve been asking for? This Monday during its WWDC 2022 event, Apple announced a bunch of new features including the ability to unsend text messages!
That’s right. Apple software engineering senior VP Craig Federighi announced the changes while discussing iOS 16 updates. Not only will users will be able to unsend messages, but they could also mark threads unread to easily revisit them later, per the Verge.
“Users can edit or recall a message for up to 15 minutes after sending it, or recover recently deleted messages for up to 30 days after deletion,” Apple explains in the press release. This new feature for iMessage will roll out with iOS 16, which is slated to be released in Fall 2022.

“We’re adding three of the most highly-requested features to Messages,” Federighi further explained. “First, have you ever sent a message only to immediately realize you didn’t quite say what you intended? Well, no worries. Because now, you can edit any message you just sent. So embarrassing typos can be a thing of the past.” As for the unread feature, he explained the it will be perfect for users who don’t have “time to respond in the moment and want to be sure to come back to a message later.”
This new update comes as they said goodbye to to the last model of the iPod. They made the announcement last month saying,
“Music has always been part of our core at Apple, and bringing it to hundreds of millions of users in the way iPod did impacted more than just the music industry—it also redefined how music is discovered, listened to, and shared,” said Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing, Gregg Joswiak. “Today, the spirit of iPod lives on. We’ve integrated an incredible music experience across all of our products, from the iPhone to the Apple Watch to HomePod mini, and across Mac, iPad, and Apple TV.”
