How to delete text messages on your iPhone and a friend

How to remove SMS from your recipient? Everyone faced this situation. I wrote not that, I formulated wrong, did not take into account the situation with the recipient. There are many other reasons when you regret that there is no “cancel” button.

In fact, the removal of text messages on both sides on the iPhone may write Xrust. True, the possibility is very limited by a number of factors. Here are the main ones:
— You can cancel the sending Imessages within 2 minutes. This is the main way to remove messages on both sides. If you sent Imessage (a message with the blue bubble) and immediately regretted it, you have exactly two minutes to remove it from your phone and the recipient’s phone. In addition, you and your interlocutor on the iPhone should have iOS 16 or a newer version. If one of you has a more old version, this function simply will not work;
— You can edit messages instead of their deletion. This is not quite removal, but it can save you if you have made an awkward car administration error or you need to correct important information. In iOS 16 and later versions, Imessage messages can be edited within 15 minutes after sending. The edited version will be displayed on both phones, although next to it there will be a small label “changed.”

How does the abolition of the sent blue bubble look technically?

• go to the function “cancel the sending” (you have a maximum of 2 minutes!);
• immediately click and hold the message that you just sent;
• The context menu will appear in the lower part of the screen;
• Find the option «Cancel sent» at the very top of the menu.
