Unfortunately, no, it is not possible to unsend an iMessage after it has been delivered. Once the message has been sent, it has been delivered to the recipient’s device and cannot be changed or retracted.
This is the same for both regular SMS/MMS messages and iMessages, as they are sent via the same technology. As such, recipients may be able to view and store the message before it is deleted, so it is always advisable to ensure that you are sending the correct content to the correct person.
Can you delete or Unsend messages on iMessage?
Yes, you can delete or unsend messages on iMessage. There are two ways to do this.
The first way is to delete the message from both your device and your recipient’s device. To do this, simply open the message thread, press and hold the message you wish to delete, then tap More. You’ll then see a list of actions, one of which is delete.
Tap delete, then select Delete for Everyone. This will delete the message from both your device and the recipients.
The second way to do this is to unsend the message before it has been received by your recipient. To do this, simply press and hold the message you wish to unsend, then tap More. You’ll then see Unsend Message.
Tap the Unsend Message option, then confirm that you would like to Unsend the message. The message will then be removed from the conversation and will no longer be received by the recipient.
When you delete an iMessage does the other person still see it?
No, when you delete an iMessage, it is permanently deleted from your device and from the receiver’s device as well. When an iMessage is deleted, it will no longer be visible in your conversation. It is important to note that the other person will be able to tell that the iMessage was deleted because the message will appear as if it has been ‘read’ and will no longer appear in the conversation.
That being said, the other person won’t be able to actually see the message itself or the content of the message. This includes text messages, images, videos, etc.
How to delete text messages on iPhone for both sides?
Deleting text messages on an iPhone for both sides is easy to do.
First, open the Messages app and go to the conversation you want to delete. Next, tap and hold the message until you see the “copy” and “more…” options. Tap “more” and then tap on the circle next to the messages you want to delete.
When you are done selecting the messages you want to delete, tap the trash can icon in the bottom right corner.
Finally, tap the button under the messages that reads “Delete Message”. This will delete the messages you have selected on both your phone and the other person’s phone. Once the messages have been deleted, they will not be visible to either person.
Why is my iPhone not letting me delete messages?
There are several possible reasons why your iPhone may not be allowing you to delete messages.
First, make sure that the message you’re trying to delete isn’t part of an iMessage conversation, as we all know that these kind of messages cannot be deleted. Second, check if there are any restrictions in place on your device that could be preventing you from deleting messages, such as parental control settings.
Third, try restarting your iPhone and then attempt to delete the message again. This could potentially clear any minor software glitches that may have been causing the problem.
Fourth, check if you have any third-party apps installed that could be interfering with the ability to delete messages. If so, delete the app and then try deleting the message again.
Finally, if all of the prior suggestions have not worked, it could be a hardware issue with your iPhone, and in that case, you should visit an Apple Store for assistance.
How many minutes before you can Unsend a message on Messenger?
Unfortunately, you cannot unsend a message in Messenger once it has been sent. While the feature has occasionally been talked about for longterm use, for now, messages sent are not able to be taken back or deleted after being sent.
This means that it is important to be mindful before sending messages, as once sent, they are not able to be taken back or retracted.
Why there is no Remove for everyone in my Messenger?
Unfortunately, there is no way to “remove for everyone” in Facebook Messenger. This is because, once a message has been sent, it has been delivered to the recipient and cannot be taken back. Facebook Messenger does not have a feature that allows users to recall or remove a message from all members of a conversation.
However, it does allow users to delete conversations or individual messages for themselves, so that the message is no longer visible in their own Messenger app. Additionally, users can block individuals in the chat, which will prevent them from seeing future messages.
To delete an individual message or a conversation, just head to the menu icon in the upper-right corner of the conversation and select the option to delete the message or conversation.
Why can’t I remove a message for everyone on Messenger after 10 minutes?
Messenger is designed to ensure that messages sent between users can’t be edited or removed after 10 minutes due to the potential for abuse. For example, if a user sends a message to an individual or a group, the message would often need to be retrieved if it contained important information that needed to be remembered, but if the messages could be easily removed by either the sender or recipient, it would lead to potential for abuse.
Furthermore, the platform needs to adhere to safety and security guidelines that stipulate that no intentional deletions be able to occur after a certain amount of time in order to protect user data and ensure that malicious actors can’t abuse the system.
As such, it isn’t possible to remove a message for everyone on Messenger after 10 minutes.
How do I know if I’m blocked on Messenger?
The best way to know for sure if you’ve been blocked on Messenger is to ask the person who you think has blocked you. If you can’t do this, there are a few ways to tell if you’ve been blocked. If the person you think has blocked you appears greyed out in the Messenger list, then it’s likely they have blocked you.
Furthermore, if you try to search for their name, it won’t appear. Additionally, you won’t be able to message them or start a video chat with them. If all of these signs apply to you, then you’ve likely been blocked.
Additionally, if you send a message to them, you’ll be unable to see when it’s been read and there won’t be a delivery notification either. It’s important to note that any messages sent before being blocked will still appear in your conversation thread.
