Among a range of other fresh features, the change generating the most attention is the ability to remove or modify text messages.

At Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference in California, they announced the new iOS16 feature that lets users recall texts sent impulsively or by accident.

This modification is new to Apple users, however, removing a text has already been utilised across a number of other platforms including Instagram, Messenger, Whatsapp and more.

Twitter users are already imagining the way this technology will be used.

Some users are saying they “hate” the new updates and are calling out those who want to unsend messages.

Online people are discussing the technology update and how it could have changed their past, had Apple introduced these features earlier.

Tesla’s robotaxi reveal sparks excitement

Analysts and investors are eagerly awaiting Elon Musk’s big reveal—a fully functional autonomous vehicle that could revolutionise ride-hailing.

Tesla’s stock has soared 52% since Musk first announced the event in April, reflecting high hopes for the launch of its much-anticipated robotaxi.

The vehicle, dubbed the “Cybercab,” is said to be a sleek, two-seater without a steering wheel or pedals—straight out of the future.

Tesla also teased a ride-hailing app that will summon these driverless cars to pick up riders at their chosen locations.

Not convincing

But not everyone is convinced—some analysts warn that while Musk’s vision is bold, the timeline for these innovations may not deliver immediate results.

Musk has a history of overpromising on autonomous tech, and this event might be more about grand ideas than tangible products.

Tesla first floated the robotaxi idea in 2016, with Musk hinting at a future where owners could lease their cars to others for extra income.

If the software keeps pace with Musk’s ambitions, the future of driverless Teslas might be closer than we think.
