You can delete sent text messages on Android now - here's how

Google has announced a new feature that allows Android users to delete sent text messages within 24 hours of sending them. This feature is available on Android Messages, the default messaging app on many Android devices. To delete a sent message, users can simply long-press on the message and select the "Delete" option. The message will then be removed from both the sender's and the recipient's conversation thread. This feature is particularly useful for those who may have sent a message they later regretted or wanted to correct. It provides users with more control over their digital communication and can help prevent embarrassing or potentially harmful messages from being permanently recorded. The ability to delete sent text messages is a welcome addition to the Android messaging experience, as it brings it more in line with the features available on other messaging platforms. This feature is now rolling out to Android users worldwide and is expected to be widely available in the coming weeks.
