I was in a group text and didn’t know it. I made several replies and then realized that one other person was in the text message besides the person who sent it. I deleted my replies. Can my replies still be seen?

Hi,
If you specifically selected the option of ‘Undo Send’ in Messages for each message, and the recipients devices are updated to iOS 16, then they would not be able to see the deleted messages. However, if you just simply deleted the messages from the thread instead of using ‘Undo Send’, then that only deleted them from your specific device, and they would still appear as normal on all other devices participating in the group chat.

Yes. If you DELETED the messages after sending, then they only got deleted on your iPhone. The recipients continue to see your "deleted" replies.

No. The deleted responses will be deleted at your end only.

So the other two people can still see my replies?
The person who sent the text message saw and read my replies. Since I deleted my replies before the other person opened it and saw my replies, will he still be able to see my deleted replies?
