Can you unsend a text? Follow
Once you’ve sent a text there’s no way to unsend it. With standard SMS and MMS text messaging, it’s delivered instantly and, unfortunately, there are no recall features to unsend something (like you might find in apps like Instagram).
If you’re using an app with real-time chat or encrypted messaging, it might include recall capabilities in which unsending is possible under specific conditions; however, this might not work if the recipient has already read or listened to the message. You can delete it from the chat, but it might only delete from your phone and not from the phones of the other person or people in the chat.
Your best bet in any instance is to be thoughtful in your conversations and proofread your messages before you tap send.
