Welcome and thank you for reaching out. 🤗


According to Apple:

  1. In Messages, tap a conversation.
  2. Touch and hold the message you want to unsend.
  3. Tap Undo Send.


The message disappears and a notification that says "You unsent a message" appears. You can unsend an iMessage for up to two minutes after you send it.


If you need more help, contact Apple Support directly.


Good Luck! 👋🏼😉
