When I delete a iMessage from a conversation, does it get deleted from the recipients screen as well ?

if you have emotional issues with sending messages and recalling them, perhaps you should pause a bit longer before sending them...

it would be nice if deleting it would delete it from the receiver's device as well. would really solve some of our emotional problems.

There is absolutely no way for technology to do what you want. How would a server (a machine) somewhere in the world know that you deleted an email on your computer? Aside from that, no machine can help with anyone's emotional problems. People do need to remember to be responsible for their actions.

In real life, there are consequences to our actions. As adults, we have to deal with them. When you say something mean or stupid, you own up to it and apologize.

Once an SMS is delivered, there is no trace of it in order to recall/delete it.

The SMS/MMS centers can keep the messages for as long as they want.
