Can You Delete Text Messages after You’ve Sent Them?

#1

Why don’t women just say what they want? Because it might come around and bite you in the ass, that’s why.

I sent a text message to my husband. [I need sex.] I hit send and then immediately realized it was a group text, which happen to include one of my boys.

I tried to save face. [Opps! I just realized this was a group text. Sorry. Just kidding. Your parents would never do something like that. Yuck!]
Him: [Ha-ha! Eww, gross! Shut up.]
Me: [Sorry]
Him: [That was hilarious. I took a screen shot and sent it to all of my friends. They loved it!]  

OMG! How embarrassing. Blush

After this happened, I look to see if there was a way to delete text messages on your iPhone after you’ve sent them. I found one app called "Wiper" but the link was no good. Any suggestions?

One option is group sex.  Wink

Sometimes I wonder why I text at all, especially if typed conversation turns into multiple texts. Just use the phone option if you want to ensure a semblance of privacy.

And just when I thought you were starting to lose your comedic touch.

Yah, if you send a text like that to everyone, good chance you're screwed. 

I went to cinema last night to see "First Man". No cell phones back then (late 60's) just a bunch of rusty looking toggle switches, analog gauges & manual controls. Yet I think it would have been great if Neil Armstrong stepped onto the lunar surface carrying a cell phone only to have his wife text same message you sent your hubby. Imagine his first words being something like "Now? You need sex now?" Might have changed the course of space exploration forever.

There's an app ironically called "Privates", but I've no idea how effective it really is.

You could possibly blame it on Iphones auto-correction, did you mean to say "sex" or "pie"?  We all need pie. (pie is more feasible than cake, since cake has four letters, although "cake > pie")
Perhaps consider code words for future use, which kind of reminds me of The Last Man on Earth pillow talk.

As for actually deleting with messages, you could try:

Quote:That rather lewd message you received was actually a virus, the longer you keep it on the phone the more likely that someone will break your password and steal your account details, so do yourself a favour and delete that message before that happens.

or

Quote:I didn't notice that I dropped my phone, and when I turned around I found this tramp had picked it up and started texting you randomly.  I managed to get the phone back off him by offering half a cheese sandwich, but not before he sent that message you received.

The problem is that people aren't necessarily that gullible and it likely draws way more attention to the message rather than express it would be better if it hadn't been delivered.

I found one called "On Second Thought" but it just delays your text messages. You have 60 seconds to delete or edit it before it goes out. Meh.  Undecided

But the "Wiper" one claimed that it stored all of your messages on the app’s server so when you edited or deleted any of your messages, it corrected or removed them from the recipient’s device, as well. It was similar to Snapchat and even alerted you when another user was taking a screenshot of your conversation.

I’m telling you that’s where the money is at. I would definitely pay for something like that.

Follow up with <Power out - bring candles>
Worst case scenario is a lifetime supply of candles.
To hubby:-
Yeah, but look how many candles we've got now.

In the context of fires in California - absolutely any text is good news.

I should come up with a code word I but think they’d figure that out in no time flat. I was with a bunch of his friends and I said that I was really thirsty. They all started cracking up. I guess nowadays thirsty means aroused. I didn’t know that.

We might be able to delete texts from our phones, but never from our memories. You won't live that one down, SS. Big Grin
