Here is how you can edit a message in iOS 16.
We expect that iOS 16 will make its full debut when the iPhone 14 comes out, in either September or October, and it’s safe to say we’re looking forward to all the new features it will bring.
One of those features is the ability to edit your iMessages, even if you have already sent them out. This will be ideal for those scenarios where you’ve sent across the wrong information or even misspelt a few too many words.
While this feature won’t be accessible to anyone who isn’t using the iOS 16 beta, keep reading to find out how you can take advantage of the edit messaging feature when it does launch on the iPhone.
