The youtube da porno izlemekApple overlords have simultaneously answered some of our prayers and terrified the rest of us with this new iOS 16 feature: the ability to undo a sent iMessage.
Undoing a text is great for when you shamefully send a "U up?" text at 2 a.m. and immediately regret it, or perhaps for a typo in a text to your boss. For the more mischievous-minded, it's also useful for denying you ever said something when it conveniences you.
Regardless of your intentions with the feature (we're not here to judge), here's how to actually do it.

There's just one loophole, though: Undoing a sent message will only fully work if both iPhones are running iOS 16. If your recipient is still on an older version of iOS, the incriminating message will not be deleted from their phone, even though it will appear gone on yours. And if your recipient is using iMessage on an Apple computer or iPad, it will likely also remain visible on that device unless they are running macOS Ventura or iPadOS 16. Undo carefully!
