Apple users will be able to edit and even recall recently sent messages when the next version of its iPhone software is released later this year, the company has announced. The update to the Messages app was one of dozens confirmed by the company at its annual Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) event in California.
The electronics giant announced a new, redesigned MacBook Air laptop and a new MacBook Pro, both of which would house the second generation of Apple’s own-built computer chip, the M2, which the firm says dramatically increases power and performance. WWDC is used each year to preview the new versions of software that power Apple’s most popular devices – the iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad and Mac computers.
iOS 16, the next version of Apple’s software to power the iPhone, will also include a redesigned lock screen which users will be able to more broadly customise with different fonts, photo filters and interactive notifications. The Messages update will enable users to recall a message for up to 15 minutes after sending it, the company said.
