Apple has made a number of significant adjustments and fascinating upgrades to its messaging app with the iOS 16 Beta 4 update.

According to a report from 9to5Mac, “iOS 16 adds the ability to modify and unsend iMessages for the first time – albeit with certain restrictions. The fourth beta of iOS 16 tightens these restrictions even more.

The most recent beta version from Apple “contains a handful of new features and changes involving the messages app, home app, mail app, lock screen notifications” and so forth, claims MacRumours. The edit history, however, “addresses a major omission from Apple’s original implementation of iMessage editing,” according to a report from The Verge.” without a history, the edit feature could theoretically be used to change malicious or mean messages after they were sent.  ” the report continued.” According to the study, even if an Apple update that displays a tiny “Edited” notice would alert consumers that “something has changed,” it’s doubtful that the user would “be able to read what was initially stated.”

According to the report, the modifications would reportedly let users message one another and view any alterations that have been made. Intriguingly, the source goes on to clarify that the iOS 16 beta 4 shortens the user’s window of opportunity to cancel an iMessage. This is a noteworthy difference from earlier iterations of iOS 16, in which consumers had a window of opportunity of 15 minutes. “That period of time has been drastically shortened to two minutes with today’s update. However, you still have 15 minutes to make changes to a message.

In the meantime, news outlet ANI published a report last week citing Mashable that claimed Apple has allegedly been deducting a 30% fee from in-app purchases made through the App Store for some time, just as reports surfaced that Netflix and Spotify were offering an external subscription option to their iOS apps. According to the source, a message noting that Apple is not responsible for the transactions being conducted shows in the pop-up window when a user chooses the subscription option in the Netflix app for iOS right now. The app connects the user to the official website so they may finish the remaining steps of the membership purchase procedure when they choose to continue.
