Whether it is about grammatical errors or even sending a message on the wrong window, this can leave you embarrassed or even sometimes in trouble! Thanks to the new iOS 16 update which delivered the new feature to edit the sent message like magic. Not just that, in case you consider that you shouldn't send this message then you can simply unsend it too!
