Hello PiqueDo2Luv,


We have a great support article that might help with this. Please take a look at it here: Unsend and edit messages on iPhone - Apple Support. Are these the steps you are following to edit your messages? Have you checked this time limitation: "You can edit a recently sent message up to five times within 15 minutes of sending it."


We hope this helps. Let us know if we can assist with anything else at all. Take care.
