When it comes to email, the ubiquitous vacation message helps others know when you're not reading things right away. Auto-reply is a handy feature of every email client. Now that so much correspondence takes place via iPhone Messages, how can you let people know you're away from your device?
Messages delivers a "Report Junk" prompt when deleting message threads from unknown contacts. Many users are accidentally choosing Report Junk instead of tapping Don't Report.
Now that outgoing messages can be unsent and edited on the iPhone, iPad, and Mac, people are wondering how this affects message delivery times. For example, does iOS 16 and later wait to deliver a message until the time allowed for Undo Send passes?

Sending corrections for typos or the wrong autofill words in Messages feels like an everyday occurrence. For those who find themselves repeatedly fixing mistakes, messages can be edited directly. While iPhone users can unsend messages within the first two minutes, iOS allows a 15-minute window to edit a message.

The ability to retract sent messages is built into iOS. Before this feature debuted, several known workarounds were discussed to try and prevent an iMessage from being sent. Most of these are not practical after the Send button is tapped. Fortunately for anyone looking to unsend a message, Apple provides an easy way to delete sent messages from the recipient's device.
