How to turn off imessage delete confirmation on Apple computer? How does one disable this feature? I don't know why Apple feels the need to parent their customers, but this additional pop-up box is obnoxious & just creates additional work for users. The messages are on the phone too, so why the extra default box on the computer just to delete a text message? In addition, the confirmation pop-up used to automatically highlight the 'delete' button, so one could quickly hit the return key & the message would be gone. That's now been changed, so users have to manually move the cursor from the highlighted 'cancel' to the 'delete' button, adding another step to simply delete a text message. Does anyone know of a setting to turn this off or a way to hack it out through Terminal? TIA

Feature Request for imessages When editing the message, the receiver can see the older message, which kills the intent of editing a message. As a feature, this does not make sense. Please provide an option at least so that the user can not see the older message.

You can't. I agree it's annoying.
