IT House News on June 23, Apple released the iOS 16/iPadOS 16 Developer Preview Beta 2 system update.
One of the new features of iOS 16 is to edit messages and cancel sending messages in iMessage. However, the first beta version requires the other party to also upgrade to iOS 16, and users of older versions such as iOS 15 do not support it. With the launch of iOS 16 Beta 2, Apple is trying to address this issue.
Now, when a user edits a sent iMessage message using an iPhone running iOS 16 Beta 2, other users will receive a new version of the message marked "Edited." But after all, the other party’s messaging app hasn’t been updated yet, so the messaging experience isn’t as seamless as iOS 16.
Apple currently does not support iOS 16 to recall recently sent messages on iOS 15 or older versions. This means that even if a user deletes a message on an iOS 16 device, the iMessage will still be visible to the other user on iOS 15 or older versions.
On iOS 16, users can edit or recall a message they just sent, restore recently deleted messages, and mark conversations as unread to deal with later. Users can edit or withdraw a message within 15 minutes of sending it, or restore it within 30 days of deletion.
The new iMessage messaging feature has also led to some controversy, as some users believe iMessage should provide a history of editing and deleting messages to avoid abuse. However, at least for now, Apple hasn't revealed any plans to change the way this works.
After a message has been edited or deleted, the other iPhone user running iOS 16 will receive notifications about these actions in the conversation.
