IPHONE users will finally be able to recall texts on iMessage after hitting send.
Apple has just announced a slew of new features for iMessage at its annual WWDC event.
The features include the highly-coveted ability to take back a text message after you send it.
Users will also be able to edit text messages and rid themselves of embarrassing typos after hitting ‘send’.
It’s important to note that these features will only work between iMessage users and not SMS.
A third clever tool Apple announced is the ability to mark text threads as ‘unread’ after opening them.
