Google Testing 'Unsend' and Editing Features for Android Messages
The new features, still in development, aim to enhance cross-platform messaging compatibility through RCS protocol updates.
- Google Messages is reportedly testing features to edit, delete, and recall sent messages for all participants in RCS chats.
- These updates would align Android's messaging capabilities with those already available on platforms like WhatsApp and iMessage.
- The functionality complies with the GSMA's Universal Profile 2.7 standard, which supports enhanced messaging experiences across devices.
- Apple's recent adoption of RCS in iOS 18 could facilitate smoother integration of these features between Android and iPhone users.
- The release timeline for these features remains uncertain, as they are still under development and require both Google and Apple to fully implement RCS updates.
