iMessage unsend received texts

Communication is hard. It gets even harder when you’re sending hundreds, if not thousands of messages a day across different social networks and messaging apps. When you’re moving a hundred miles an hour, it’s easy to make mistakes. Thankfully, Apple quietly rolled our an “undo send” feature so you can save yourself from the most embarrassing text mistakes.

This does not, however, save you from second-hand humiliation. What if there were a way to fix this? I’m imagining an experience in iMessage where you can “undo send” texts from other people. This could be helpful for both parties, whether they want to be saved from themselves or not.

There’s a broader conversation to be had about use privacy, consent, and control over messaging, but in a pinch this could be a super helpful feature.
