Apple has released a new beta for iOS 16. There is a small function for iMessage that can be used by other messengers like WhatsApp. It provides more clarity when writing if users hurry.

Apple: iMessage shows revisions

With iOS 16, Apple introduces the possibility of sending messages via iMessage for the first time Correct messages later or delete it immediately. For example, spelling mistakes can be corrected quickly. If you change your mind and don’t want the message to reach the recipient, you can delete it.

In the fourth beta version of iOS that has just been released, there has been a change that would certainly make a good impression on WhatsApp and other messengers. Not only can users edit messages, the recipient can also view them view the original message. Up to five edits are possible. Users have 15 minutes to correct messages. Older versions of the message are grayed out.
