Maybe you made a typo – or worse, send us a disappointing “drunk text.”
Google Message users can now stop before starting a hanging user, thanks to a new and highly anticipated feature that makes text meaningless.
Similar to the iMessage function, which allows users to quickly unlock text immediately after sending, Google Messages has launched a deletion function that gives Texters the opportunity to delete phone and recipient messages. Android Authority.
However, the catch is that if you press Send you can only erase the message for 15 minutes.
“Up to date, if you delete something you send or receive in a message, the content will be deleted.” Android police.
“The former original sender and the recipient of what you sent will still retain a copy of what you're deleting.”
But soon, this function will give the user the option “Remove for me” or “Remove everyone”. The latter means that the message will be removed from the recipient's device, but it has not yet been decided when the exact feature will be live.
The new tool is RCS's latest innovation, short for Rich Communications Services, offering a wide range of features when messaging depending on your career.
Unlike traditional SMS, RCS Messaging It includes the ability to indicate when text is being delivered or read and send high-resolution media. This means there are no more grainy photos or videos sent between Android and iPhone.
Apple recently added RCS messaging to its iPhone after years of ridiculous laughs from rivals who called on the tech giant to update its text features.
Apple also announced that it has end-to-end encrypted RCS messaging in its works to protect user text.
“End-to-end encryption is a strong privacy and security technology that IMESSAGE has supported from the start and is pleased to have helped us lead the inter-industry efforts to bring end-to-end encryption to the RCS universal profile issued by GSMA.” Barge.
“Future software updates will add end-to-end encrypted RCS messages support to iOS, iPados, MacOS and WatchOS.”
The announcement comes after a harsh warning from the FBI to stop using unencrypted messaging methods like SMS after hackers violate telecom networks.
This month, the agency also warned to remove fraud text amid the rise in “Smishing.” Cybercriminals have targeted Android and iPhone users with malicious links in an attempt to steal data and credentials.
