I fear this will make cowards of us all. Just hit send on that horny screed and live your damn life!
Before indulging in this absolutely dangerous update, here are some important caveats: Texts can be edited up to five times within the 15 minutes they are sent and they can be fully deleted for up to two minutes after sending it. The feature only works if the recipient also has updated their operating system. They’ll be able to see previous versions of edited messages, and if you delete a text, they’ll be notified that a message was deleted, but won’t be able to see it.
But be warned—if their texts are sent to other devices like an Apple Watch or iPad, and those devices haven’t been updated to iOS 16, they’ll be able to see the original message. In addition to creating needless anxiety spirals, this update creates multiple editions of correspondence, which frays the already thinning public concept of “truth.
As Spiderman’s Uncle Ben said, “With great power comes great responsibility.” Now, if I had texted that to you, I could edit the message to include the fact that Uncle Ben did not actually say that in the original Spiderman or delete the message all together and pretend like I knew that all along. But it is indeed our communal responsibility to use this new iOS feature for good and not for evil.
