unText it purports to Unsend a text. It makes it sound as though it deletes the text from the recipient’s device. No it doesn’t. Nor does it self destruct after a timeframe like other apps.
What it really does is very simple. It lets you drag an adjustable opaque Sticky Note over the text so it can’t be read. This can be accomplished with any iMessage sticker App.
Of the 6 choices 3 have unTexted written on them, one is blue and the other is gray. These 5 choices make it obvious to the recipient that something odd is going on. The best option is the plain white which works like old fashioned Whiteout. It leaves no obvious indication that a text is covered up because it’s white on white.
The recipient will still receive a Notification of the text and it’s wording if they have Notifications for iMessage set up and look at it. The coverup will also be sent as a Notification.
It will only work when you’re texting between two Apple devices and using iMessage on both ends. If you try to coverup a text on anything but iMessage the text will be visible with one of the 6 options you chose will appear below it. In other words it won’t work on any texting App but iMessage.
For Instructions read the developer’s description. iMessage Apps work a little differently than regular Apps.
I have played around a bit and there are two ways to view the offending text after it’s been covered up. I’ll keep them to myself.
To find the App go to iMessage and choose any thread. At the bottom you'll see a row of iMessage Apps. Scroll until you get to the 3 dots on the bottom right of the screen that show More. Tap the 3 dots. Here you will find your hidden iMessages Apps. Tap Edit. You can choose your Favorites or change their order. You can scroll down to non-Favorites to turn them ON or OFF.
To remove an app from Favorites, swipe to the left.
To delete an iMessage App it must be in non-Favorites. Swipe to the to left.
