Sending text messages is a convenient way to communicate with friends and family. However, we often send messages in haste that we wish we could take back. Fortunately, Android devices have a feature that allows you to unsend text messages. In this article, we will show you how to unsend text messages on Android devices.
Using Google’s Messages App

Step 3: Select “Delete”
Select “Delete” from the menu. You will see a pop-up message that says “This message will be deleted for everyone in this chat.” Tap “Delete” to confirm.
Note:
You have 10 minutes to unsend the message after sending it. After that, the message cannot be unsent.
