How to Edit iMessage on iPhone with iOS 16

Here’s how you can edit a message in iOS 16.

We expect iOS 16 to make its full debut when the iPhone 14 arrives in September or October, and it’s safe to say we’re all looking forward to the new features.

One of those features is the ability to edit your iMessages, even if you’ve already sent them. This would be ideal for scenarios where you sent incorrect information or even misspelled a few too many words.

While the feature won’t be available to anyone who isn’t using the iOS 16 beta, keep reading to find out how you can take advantage of the edit messages feature when it launches on the iPhone.

questions to ask

Does the person I sent the message know that it has been edited?

Yes, the person receiving the message will know the message has been edited, although this may change once the feature is fully rolled out at the end of the year.

Can I Edit My Messages in iOS 15?

No, this feature is currently exclusive to iOS 16 and cannot be done on an iPhone running iOS 15, which means you will have to wait for the update to test the update.

Will someone on iOS 15 see the edit?

No, both users need to be running iOS 16 for the changes to take effect.
