Take heed before retracting an iMessage
Apple announced the ability to edit and retract sent iMessages a few months ago, and while developers have been able to use the feature since the beta went live, there are still some quirks. It doesn’t quite work as advertised at the moment, as most folks are still on iOS 15 or earlier, so you should heed this warning if you’re planning on trying out the feature for yourself.
If you send off a text to someone using iOS 15 or earlier and then try to delete it, they’ll still see your message. The same happens if you try to edit an iMessage; it’ll simply send another with the edited copy. Apple had to place a warning message to beta users because of how this is currently implemented, but it will hopefully work fine once the software goes live for everyone (though, it’s a wonder how it’ll work with older versions of iOS then, too).
