iOS 16 iMessage features NOT WORKING

I installed iOS 16 solely to be able to edit/unsend messages but I can only edit them. The option to delete them isn’t available for some reason but the edit feature is.. this is very annoying to me. I’ve reached out only to get no response. This is very frustrating. Please fix this **** asap!

iPhone 11, iOS 16

Do the people you're sending to also have an iPhone updated to iOS 16? I believe the undo feature only works if they are also updated.


To undo messages, everyone must use iMessage with iOS 16, iPadOS 16.1, macOS Ventura, or later. If you unsend a message to someone on an older version of iOS, iPad OS, or macOS, your contact might still see the message.
