Why you might want to unsend an iMessage

There are a few different reasons why you might want to unsend an iMessage. Maybe you sent a message to the wrong person, or maybe you said something you shouldn’t have. Regardless of the reason, Apple makes it relatively easy to unsend iMessages, as long as you act quickly.

Once you unsend an iMessage, it will delete that message from both your device and the recipient’s device. That said, there are a few things to keep in mind. For one, you can only unsend an iMessage that was sent within the last five minutes or so. After that, the message is considered “delivered” and can not be unsent.

Additionally, if you’ve already left the conversation thread (i.e., the Messages app) or if the recipient has already read the message, you won’t be able to unsend it. In those cases, your only hope is to apologize for what you said and hope that they forgive you.
