Unsending Text Messages on iPhone

💡 This guide explains how to unsend a text message on your iPhone, which is possible when using iMessage or with RCS text messaging enabled.
📌 To unsend a message, open the Messages app and long-press on the message you wish to remove.
⚡ A button labeled 'Undo Send' will appear; tap this to unsend the message.

Limitations and Considerations

⚠️ The 'Undo Send' feature is only available within a specific time frame, typically 10 to 15 minutes after the message has been sent.
💬 It's important to note that recipients using devices with outdated software may still be able to see the message even after it has been unsent from your device.
