Typo-prone texters, rejoice: The newest Apple iOS now allows users to edit – and even unsend – messages sent via iMessage.
If you, like me, have been known to need follow-up messages with asterisks correcting errors – or worse, to send messages to the wrong people entirely – iOS 16 comes with a simple fix: Simply tap and hold on the message you've sent then choose "edit" or "undo send."
Users can edit any message up to five times, and they have 15 minutes to edit the text after sending it. (Apple reportedly decreased this time limit after feedback that the feature could be abused.) Your recipient will be able to see a history of your changes.

..."If you find those restraints too limiting, consider a third-party messaging app: Telegram and Viber have long had the option to edit messages, and even more services allow users to unsend or delete messages, including Instagram, WhatsApp and Signal. All are available on both Apple and Android phones.
The new iOS comes with a host of other features, including customizable lock screens and more sharing options. iPhone users can download the update at any time. iPad users will have to wait until October."...
