How to get out of edit on iPhone

Hi marcelline48,

It sounds like you're looking to exit the edit mode in the Message app on your iPhone. If so, check out the steps below found in the article here: Unsend and edit messages on iPhone - Apple Support

"Edit a sent message

You can edit a recently sent message up to five times within 15 minutes of sending it.

1. In Messages, select a conversation with the message you want to edit.
2. Touch and hold the message bubble, then tap Edit.
3. Make any changes, then tap  to resend with edits or  to revert.
4. Note: The message is marked as Edited in the conversation transcript.

If the person you’re messaging is using a device with iOS 16 or later, iPadOS 16 or later, or macOS Ventura, the message bubble is updated to reflect your edits on their device, and both of you can tap Edited to see previous versions of your message.

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, they receive a new message with your updated text."

If there's a different issue present, provide more detail about what's occurring and what you're looking to accomplish and we'll continue.

Cheers.
