Although this time iOS 16 The spindle feels like it’s integrated into the Apple Watch-like locked screen experience. However, regarding the messaging function of iMessage, Apple actually thought of further catering to the needs of users. It not only supplemented the message recall function of ordinary messaging services, but also added a new function that allows you to edit and modify messages that have been sent (Twitter users said:…). However, this feature does not matter if the user on the other side is also using iOS 16, which is supported, but what if you are encountering a user of iOS 15 or even earlier?

What should I do if the old version of iMessage does not support “editing” messages? iOS 16 will send the message again
Although it is not surprising that many features of the new system cannot be supported forward, but here comes the latest recall and editing functions of iMessage. Although Apple has long said that this feature is not backward compatible, what will happen if an iOS 16 user sends a message to an iOS 15 user and needs to edit a message?
Coming to the latest iOS 16 Beta 2 update, someone discovered that when you send a message to an old system user and edit it in the message, there will be a new corresponding method.

However, not only can this not determine which message has been changed, but more messages will be visible – in this case, it seems more practical to simply not display or activate the chat editing function for iOS 15 users?

iOS 16 can support advanced options that allow you to long press a message to edit or recall the message. At this stage, although Apple uses this text description to make the former function compatible with iMessage before iOS 15 (but it will not be used). However, for the message recovery function between the old and new systems, it is not possible or has not yet found a compatible method.

actually When LINE app first introduced the recall/delete message function, applications for older versions also seem to have encountered incompatibilities. The result is that even when embarrassing messages are retracted, they can still be received through the old version of the Line app. Although most people should update to a version that can be recovered normally in the future. However, for Apple, which has just started to introduce this feature, it may still have to face a system transition period – it is quite surprising that Apple did not quietly lay out the layout in iOS 15. The only thing that supports the iMessage function in iOS 16 is the receiver.
