Alpo Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Web comic. Zadie gets a text from her boyfriend Raymond. "Samantha. Had such fun last night. You are so good in bed" yada yada. Next frame, that message is gone and her phone now says "Raymond has removed a message". I get the point. Raymond texted the wrong girl, and deleted it, but she read it before it POOFed, and now knows he's cheating on her But is that possible? Maybe with iPhones, because I sure don't know how to do it with this Android. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff Hanger #3720LR Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 The answer is "Sometimes". https://graziadaily.co.uk/life/in-the-news/delete-text-message-already-sent/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 The answer is, like Cliff Hanger said "Sometimes". It depends on your phone, their phone, the service provider, the alignment of the planets.... Also, it seems that there are many different answers but the one thing every link I have looked at has said, "once it's read it cannot be deleted" so whoever wrote your comic is wrong. https://www.google.com/search?q=deleting+texts+after+sending&rlz=1C1CHBD_enUS839US839&oq=deleting+textx+after&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0l3.9990j1j8&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Texas jack Black SASS#9362 Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Why not just think before you type something you have not thought out? If you say it you thought it and it belongs to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramblin Gambler Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 It's getting to be a feature on newer apps. One of them I use has the feature (and it looks like the comic, where it tells you that a message was unsent), but the plain old texting app that comes with the phone doesn't.
