Ever press send on a text message and instantly regret that decision? Now, if you're chatting via Snapchat, you can take back the message and preserve your dignity.
The app just introduced a new feature that lets you delete messages you've sent to friends in individual or group chats, even if the message has already been saved or viewed. This feature will be rolling out to all Snapchat users around the world over the next few weeks.
To delete a message, navigate to the conversation, press and hold on the offending content, and select Delete. Once you do that, your friend or friends will be alerted in the chat conversation that a message was deleted. Keep in mind that your friends can always screenshot your messages, so if you want that content gone forever, you better delete it quick.
Snapchat is also making its second-generation Spectacles a little more accessible. Originally sold exclusively through Spectacles.com, the augmented reality sunglasses are now available for purchase on Amazon throughout the US, UK, and Canada. They are even eligible for next-day shipping, just in case you need them stat.
Snapchat Spectacles 2 earned a "good" rating in PCMag's review. We like their "slightly slimmer, water-resistant design" and "good audio quality" but noted that they are $20 more expensive than the first version, and "still look silly."
"Snapchat Spectacles 2 offer a fun, wearable way to create content for your social media feed, but don't represent much of an advancement from the original model," we wrote. "Unless you're a Snapchat influencer who spends a lot of time at pool parties, there's no truly compelling reason to buy a pair."
