Is delaying text messages possible?

On the older galaxy's you could delay sending text messages by a few seconds so if you accidentally hit send you could cancel the message. I don't see the option in the messages settings though, did anyone else find it?

Sad that I gotta be using text apps to get back old features that are so simple

Sad yes, but Textra is amazing and you should really consider switching. The stock sms with Samsung has never impressed me, nor does their keyboard.

Indeed. Textra is a great app. I love how I can respond to texts from the lock screen without unlocking the phone.

get back old features

Handcent before it went to shit had tons of features that stock apps never did. They had them years ago! I dunno when stock apps started catching up, but apps like handcent and now textra are what lead the way. The are in every way better than stock! (Note - handcent is shit now, don't use it.)

I second the opinion here that Textra is amazing, i've been using it since the S6. The first thing I do on a new phone is download it.

Yeah I saw that but it won't let you delay all messages by a set time

Every message you want delayed needs to be set. I don't know too many people that need every message delayed I guess

I don't know about Samsung's stock messages, but I use Textra (the best SMS app in my opinion) and through that you can set a delay, as well as a host of other customization options.
