Ever sent a text you did not mean to send but did anyway? This app allows you to recall your messages. Set it as your primary messaging app and start texting. If you see a mistake before it’s delivered, swipe left to recall and edit it or swipe right to completely delete it. The “curfew” feature allows you to set a time for all messages from your phone to be stopped until the next morning, when you can glance back over them with “fresh” eyes.
The app is really easy to use. First, download “On Second Thought SMS” in the Google Play Store. It’s not currently available in the Apple App Store. (Bummer, I know.) After downloading, go to the app’s settings and set your “grace period.” The grace period is the amount of time you have to change your mind about a text you just sent; it goes up to 60 seconds. If you decide to unsend the message, simply swipe left and the would-be recipient will never know you texted them. It works even if the other person hasn’t downloaded the app.
The 60 second grace period is helpful, but sometimes you need a little more time to reevaluate what you should and should not say. The On Second Thought app has the “curfew” feature, which puts a moratorium on texts sent after a designated time.
