Part 1 : Why Can't I Unsend A Message On iMessage iOS 16?

There are 2 reasons even if you're also using the latest iOS system, you still can't cancel sending a message because iMessage only supports unsend messages within 2 minutes. Another reason is because even if you unsend the message, if the message receiver is not using the latest iOS 16 system or above, your unsend message will still be seen by the other party. Which means, both the sender and receiver of the iMessage need to use iOS16 system or above.
