iMessage on iOS 16 is getting much better. Your business is adding new features to the Messaging for Messages app, including the ability to edit messages after they’ve been sent.
You will be able to edit the sent messages, undo them completely and mark the read and unread conversations. There are some limits to keep in mind …
The ability to edit and undo messages sent a long time ago is approaching and keeps iMessage updated with other group chat apps like WhatsApp. It also means that Apple won Twitter on the edit button.
You can now edit iMessages
Messages that are edited after the event are marked with the subtitle “Edit” next to their delivery status, so that the recipient knows that the message has been changed. A message can be retrieved or edited for up to 15 minutes if sent.
iMessage also integrates SharePlay directly, so you don’t need to make a FaceTime call to share an activity like watching a movie together.
Apple is also updating its dictation features to help you compose your voice messages. You can now dictate and edit text with your finger simultaneously, useful for quick corrections.
These new iMessage features will arrive as part of iOS 16 this fall. Presumably, all participants in the iMessage thread will have to run iOS 16 in order to take advantage of the new features.
Apple announced iOS 16 as part of the main WWDC event, which is taking place right now. The release date for iOS 16 for everyone will be this fall. A beta version for iOS 16 developers is available today for developers to try out.
