I was in a group text and didn’t know it. I made several replies and then realized that one other person was in the text message besides the person who sent it. I deleted my replies. Can my replies still be seen?

iPhone 14, iOS 16

Hi,


If you specifically selected the option of ‘Undo Send’ in Messages for each message, and the recipients devices are updated to iOS 16, then they would not be able to see the deleted messages. However, if you just simply deleted the messages from the thread instead of using ‘Undo Send’, then that only deleted them from your specific device, and they would still appear as normal on all other devices participating in the group chat.
