The feature is now available in beta mode, but will roll out to iPhones everywhere once iOS 16 is available on 7 models or later.

The beta reveals how to use the feature, which thankfully is quite simple, given the urgent nature of wanting to undo or correct a post.

To edit a message, simply hold the message you sent and an "edit" option will appear under the various text reaction options. Select the option, edit the text, and click the blue checkmark that appears. The person you send the edited message to will receive a notification that you did.

To unsend a message, the process is the same: hold down the message and an option "unsend message" will appear. Select this option and it will notify you and the recipient that a message was not sent.

However, if a post has already been edited, it cannot be undone.
