Undo send on IOS 16

When someone unsends a message on iMessage I can still see what they said if I have the contact on a widget. It shows the last message they sent and if they unsent that message you can still see it there.

iPhone 12 mini, iOS 16

Good afternoon Theweldingdude01.


Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!


Based on the resource below, it appears the behavior you are experiencing with the new undo feature in Messages is expected (depends on the iOS version):


Unsend and edit messages on iPhone - iPhone User Guide


"You can undo a recently sent message for up to two minutes after sending it.


Touch and hold the message bubble, then tap Undo Send.


A note confirming that you unsent the message appears in both conversation transcripts: yours and your recipient’s.


If the person you’re messaging is using a device with iOS 16 or later, iPadOS 16 or later, or macOS Ventura, unsending removes the message from their device.


If the person you’re messaging is using a device with iOS 15.6 or earlier, iPadOS 15.6 or earlier, macOS 12 or earlier, or is using SMS, the original message remains in the conversation.


When you unsend a message, you’re notified that the recipient may still see the original message in the message transcript."
