You can change or remove messages you have sent.

Edit a message

1. Point at your message, or press and hold it on a phone, and open the message options.
2. Choose Edit.
3. Change the text and press Save.

You can edit a message for up to 24 hours after you send it. An edited message shows (edited). Voice messages cannot be edited.

Delete a message

1. Open the message options and choose Delete.
2. Choose one of these:

• Delete for everyone removes the text for both of you. It is replaced by [Message deleted].
