Hi nhel33,


Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities. If you're referring to iMessages, with iOS 16, you can unsend a message for up to two minutes after sending. The following is from Unsend and edit messages on iPhone - Apple Support.


"Unsend a message

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."


If you're referring to another app, your options there will be determined by the app developer. If you need to reach out to them for assistance, you can find their information using the guidance from How to contact an app developer - Apple Support.


Kind regards.
