How to Recall a Text Message iPhone?

You cannot fully recall or unsend a normal SMS or MMS sent from iPhone

You can delete the message from your own iPhone, but it will still remain on the recipient’s device

If you used iMessage and the message was sent recently, press and hold the message

Tap Undo Send if the option appears

Undo Send works only within a short time after sending

If the message was sent to a non-Apple device, it cannot be recalled

You can edit a recently sent iMessage instead of recalling it

Press and hold the iMessage

Tap Edit if available

Make your changes and resend

If the message was already delivered and Undo Send is unavailable, ask the recipient to ignore or delete it

To reduce future mistakes, enable message confirmation habits before sending
