Google Messages unsend feature now widely available

Google is slowly making a push with its Messages app and ever since it started supporting RCS messaging, the app gained quite a bit of features, including the ability to send photos in original quality. The most recent one is important, though, as it allows you to unsend messages.

Google Messages' delete message prompt

Thanks to the RCS (Rich Communication Services) protocol, Google is making it possible to delete sent messages not just on your screen but on the recipient's too.

Hints of the feature were first spotted a few months ago in the source code, but Google is now making it available to all Google Messages users.

Once you try to delete a message by selecting the message and tapping on the trash can icon, a prompt will pop up asking you to choose between "Delete for everyone" and "Delete for me".

Sure, it's a feature that's been available on numerous other messaging apps, but it's a big deal for those who use the native Google Messages app for communication.
