With iOS 16, Apple is adding some major updates to the Messages app, introducing features that many people have been wanting for years. This guide highlights everything that’s new with the Messages app in \u200ciOS 16\u200c, iPadOS 16, and also, macOS Ventura as many Messages features are cross-platform.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

iMessage Editing<\/h2>\n

When you send an iMessage in \u200ciOS 16\u200c, you can edit for up to 15 minutes after it is sent. To edit an iMessage, you just long press on the message that you want to fix, add your edit, and then press the blue checkmark to resend.<\/p>\n

\"iMessage<\/p>\n

Using the message editing feature as it is intended requires participants to be using Apple’s latest updates, including \u200ciOS 16\u200c, \u200ciPadOS 16\u200c, \u200cmacOS Ventura\u200c, and watchOS 9.<\/p>\n

People who are running an earlier operating system or those on Android will see text that says “Edited to [text]” when receiving an edited iMessage.<\/p>\n

The Messages app does not provide a history of the iMessage that is edited, so the person on the other end will not know what the change was.<\/p>\n

iMessage Undo Send<\/h2>\n

If you send an iMessage and then change your mind, you can use the undo send feature to retract it. You can unsend an iMessage for up to 15 minutes after sending it.<\/p>\n

\"messages<\/p>\n

In this situation, the person on the other end will not see that you unsent it, even though it will disappear from your \u200ciPhone\u200c. If someone is running an earlier version of iOS, it will say the following:<\/p>\n

“You unsent a message. [Person] may still be able to see your message on devices running older versions of iOS.”<\/p>\n

For undo send to work, participants need to be running \u200ciOS 16\u200c, \u200ciPadOS 16\u200c, \u200cmacOS Ventura\u200c, and \u200cwatchOS 9\u200c on their devices. iMessage is required, as the feature does not work on SMS messages.<\/p>\n

Mark as Unread<\/h2>\n

There is a new mark as unread feature in \u200ciOS 16\u200c, which allows you to mark an SMS message or iMessage as new, so it has the blue dot to remind you to return to it.<\/p>\n

\"ios<\/p>\n

To mark a thread as unread, long press on the conversation and then tap on the “Mark as Unread” option.<\/p>\n

Recover Deleted Messages<\/h2>\n

Under the “Filters” interface in the Messages app, there is a new “Recently Deleted” section that aggregates all of the texts that you’ve deleted. If you accidentally delete a message that you did not mean to delete, you can recover it here.<\/p>\n

\"recently<\/p>\n

SharePlay Support<\/h2>\n

SharePlay, the feature that is designed to let you use apps, watch TV, listen to music, and more with friends and family over FaceTime, has expanded to the Messages app. In any app that supports SharePlay, you can opt to start a SharePlay session with the Messages app.<\/p>\n

\"messages<\/p>\n

Collaboration Integration<\/h2>\n

Collaboration is a new feature built into iOS apps. You can work together with colleagues, friends, or family in Files, Keynote, Numbers, Pages, Notes, Reminders, and Safari, sending an invite to collaborate through Messages. <\/p>\n

When a Collaboration has begun, all invited participants will see Messages updates when the shared project in the app is edited. Collaborations can be initiated from Messages or \u200cFaceTime\u200c.<\/p>\n

Junk Message Reporting<\/h2>\n

Apple is expanding the built-in “Report Junk” feature in the Messages app to cover SMS\/MMS messages, allowing spam messages to be reported to select carriers in the United States.<\/p>\n

\"report<\/p>\n

The Report Junk feature was previously available for iMessage, but the option to report SMS\/MMS messages to both Apple and carriers is new. <\/p>\n

Developer APIs<\/h2>\n

Apple is making the Shared with You API available to developers, so they can build a dedicated Shared with You section into their apps, which will aggregate app content that you’ve been sent from friends into that app. So, for example, if a friend sends a Zillow listing, you might be able to see it in a new Shared with You section in the Zillow app.<\/p>\n

This is opt-in for third-party apps, and it is an expansion of the Shared with You function that Apple introduced in iOS 15. Shared with You takes Safari links, photos, music, and more, and makes them accessible in the relevant app so you don’t miss content from friends.<\/p>\n

Apple also has a Messages Collaboration API to allow third-party apps to take advantage of the new Collaboration feature that allows users to communicate in the Messages app while working together in another app. <\/p>\n
