iPhone users rejoiced with the release of iOS 16's ability to unsend and I Want To Be The First Guyedit messages. Apple promoted the features as helpful ways to correct typos or retract messages sent by accident, but some users are thinking more nefariously. Since iOS 16 came out earlier this month, the conversation has taken a turn towards the land of sin: lying, cheating, and gaslighting.

If you unsend a message, it's like it never happened right?

Tapping "undo send" just became a new tool in the gaslighter's repertoire.

Seeing a disclaimer that a message has been sent, then deleted, will undoubtedly trigger some trust issues...

...and for good reason, since this user wants to take their infidelity to the next level

Speaking of which, using undo send isn't the best way to cheat. Apple users who haven't upgraded to iOS 16 can still see the deleted message.

And if the recipient does have iOS 16, you only have two minutes to erase your crime or 15 minutes to...uh...edit your crime.

Some are just happy to add to the chaos...

...while others just want to go back to the good old days when a message went out into the world untouched.
