The new version of iOS 16 is available from September 12. Among its many new features, Apple has integrated the possibility of canceling the sending of an iMessage up to two minutes after sending the message.
To do this, simply long press on the message in question, then press “Cancel Send”. The message then disappears and is replaced by the words “You have canceled sending a message.” The other person will receive[Prénom] canceled sending a message”.
However, if the recipient is viewing the conversation when the message in question is sent, they will see it until it disappears. Technically, undo doesn’t prevent sending, but “removes” the message from the conversation, for both participants. Likewise, the person will also receive a receipt notification, before the message is canceled.
Only for iOS 16
However, this is only possible with two devices running iOS 16. If the message is sent to an iPhone running a later version and the sender cancels it, the recipient will still be able to see it.
It is now also possible to edit a message that has already been sent. This operation is possible within fifteen minutes after sending, and only five modifications are possible.
The handling is the same as to cancel a shipment: you have to click on the message, then select “modify”. Then, you have to rewrite the message and resend it. The change history is visible to all partners.
As a reminder, iOS 16 is available on the following devices: iPhone 13, iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12 Pro Max, iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro , iPhone 11 Pro Max, iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, iPhone XR, iPhone X, iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone SE (2nd generation), iPhone SE (3rd generation).
