Deleting iPhone texts?
I have an iPhone 6 and I know how to delete single texts and conversations, but is there a way to delete texts already sent so the other party doesn't see them?

Without touching their phone? No. At least not without using an app that was made specifically for that purpose.

no, sorry, cannot be done, once its sent, its sent regardless if you delete if from your phone.........
on android, you can set a fail safe timer, after pressing send, it can if you set one up, wait 5 seconds, and that gives you the chance to cancel the text being sent.........

That's not how texting works. Once it is sent, unless you get a hold of the other person's phone and delete the message yourself, it isn't going anywhere.

Nope, once you send a text it moves from your phone to the service providers servers and then as soon as it is possible to deliver, whether it is read or not, to the recipients phone.
