Even though I’m pretty good at typing, common grammar mistakes and typos often tend to sneak in and make the messages sound foolish. And when that happens, I either have to re-write the message or say sorry for making the mistakes. In either scenario, you feel bad and wish there was an easy way to edit messages. I guess many of you would have felt this agony at some point or the other. Bother not, Apple has finally come up with a better way to fix this situation. That said, here is how you can edit iMessages in macOS 13 Ventura on Mac.
Edit iMessages in macOS 13 Ventura on Mac
Before we begin, let’s check out the prerequisites so that you won’t run into any unexpected roadblocks later.
Important Things to Keep in Mind
- Bear in mind that if you send the edited message to someone who is still using the older macOS versions or iOS 15/iPadOS 15, they will continue to see the original message.
- Note that Apple allows you to edit iMessages only up to 15 minutes after sending. Therefore, you must check out the mistakes and make the necessary changes within the stipulated time.
- Though, within the limited time, you can edit a message multiple times if need be.
