Apple unveiled a new feature on Monday that will allow iPhone users to edit and un-send regrettable iMessages.
In the moments after an iMessage is sent, users will be able to click either the “edit” or “undo send” buttons to modify their messages, Apple revealed at the company’s annual WWDC conference.
The features will be made available with the new version of its iOS. Apple has not yet announced the release date for the new operating system, which will be called iOS 16.
Craig Federighi, an Apple executive, said the “edit” and “undo send” buttons were one of the “most requested features to Messages.”
Apple also unveiled an overhaul of the iPhone lockscreen during the conference. Users will now be able to create their own lockscreens with custom fonts and add widgets for everything from the weather to NBA game scores.
Apple shares were up 0.2% at $145.66 on Monday.
Apple also announced new privacy features as well as new upgrades to its Apple Pay system, including an “Apple Pay Later” system that will break up purchases into several payments.
