What is the point of allowing the feature to "unsend" or edit iMessages if the recipient can see one's moves? This negates the thrilling prospect to of no tangible benefit.

Feature Request for imessages When editing the message, the receiver can see the older message, which kills the intent of editing a message. As a feature, this does not make sense. Please provide an option at least so that the user can not see the older message.

If you send an iMessage to “person then delete it can the “person” still see it If I sent an I message (text ) to someone then deleted the message, would they still be able to see it after I’ve deleted or before ? 😊

How can you disable the new "edit" feature in Messages how can you disable the new "edit" feature? when typing in imessage, you make changes/"edits" & send or you go back to existing text & edit it. Then receiver can click "edit" in blue & sees what you changed. OMG, I don’t want receiver to see that edit. Who wants that?! I know I can turn off iMessage completely but I don’t want to do that. Among other reasons, I like the unsend message [Re-Titled by Moderator]
