If I delete an iMessage, does the other person still see it?

There's an option to delete a message, but it doesn't clarify whether it's deleting the message from the conversation or just for you to free up some space. Considering how you could delete others' messages in a group chat I'd imagine it'll just delete it from your end… or are we able to delete others' messages for themselves (and for rest of a group members) as well?

So there is no way to delete a message for other person/persons once already sent out from what I understand.

No. It will get deleted from all your devices only.


Add or remove someone from a group conversation

Anyone in a group iMessage can add or remove someone from the conversation. You can remove a person from a group iMessage that has at least three other people. You can’t add or remove people from group MMS messages or group SMS messages.


Types of group messages

The three types of group messages that you might see are: group iMessage, group MMS, and group SMS. The Messages app automatically chooses the type of group message to send based on you and your recipients' settings, network connection, and carrier plan. For example:

  • If you and your recipients are using Apple devices and iMessage is turned on, then the group message is sent as an iMessage.
  • If you send a group message to people who aren't using iMessage, then the message is sent as an MMS or SMS message.
