Apple is bringing much-needed upgrades to the Messages app in iOS 16. Many know the frustration of sending a message the second after our iPhone wrongly autocorrected a word, of sending a message to the wrong number, or wishing badly you could unsend that text. With iOS 16, we have the option to go back an undo or redo some of our choices.
Many of our top wishlist items for the new OS have been centered around the Messages app. Apple has finally heard our pleas and is bringing us the ability to edit and unsend messages, and mark opened messages as unread so we don't forget about it when we mean to come back to it later. Another notable addition to the Messages app is SharePlay support, allowing you to watch vides and listen to music with friends within a text thread.
Finally, you can now use dictation features without a Wi-Fi or data connection. This is good news for those who prefer or need to use the dictation feature instead of manually typing out your messages, notes, or ideas, as you won't have to be tethered to an internet connection or use your data.
This is a great new bundle of Messages updates, though some may argue it's overdue!
