Cancel sending email from iPhone: how it works in iOS 16
Important: The option to cancel sending an email is only available for a very short period of time after clicking the “Send” button.
With iOS 16 running on your iPhone, open the Mail app (works on iPad in iPadOS 16 too). Immediately after sending an email, look at the bottom of the screen. Select “Cancel Send” – only available for 10 seconds after an email is sent – but may also be affected when connected to the internet. You will see the draft email again, select “Cancel” in the top left corner to cancel sending the email. You can confirm that the email was not sent by looking at the Sent Items folder – and it will be saved in the Drafts folder.
How to set the unsent email time window
With iOS 16 beta 4 or later running, open the Settings app. Swipe down and select Mail. At the very bottom, tap Cancel Send Delay. Now you can select “Off”, “10”, “20” or “30 seconds”.
Here’s what the process for unsending an email from an iPhone looks like:
As mentioned above, you will only get the option to unsend an email if you catch it almost immediately after hitting the send button.
Once you click the “Cancel Send” button, you will see the draft email again, just click “Cancel” as shown below. You can then edit or simply delete the unsent email from the Drafts folder.
