Help Cancel Message?

Is there a way to cancel a message while its in the pending to send stage? Spell check screws certain things up and i dont realize until i hit send is there a quick way to cancel before it actully goes?
 
I don't know if it works because I've never needed to, but you could try pressing and holding the message until the menu pops up, tap edit, and clear/edit the message.

I imagine that would only delete the message from appearing in your stored conversation, not keep the recipient from being able to read it.

I tried that your right that is just retarted though, why even let me edit what is already sent anyway they just get both messages the initial an dthe edited :mad:
 
Honestly this isnt that big of a deal, its like an email.
Once its sent, its sent because it happens in a matter of seconds.
Which is why ppl proof read emails (ppl who care at least) before sending.
So the only thing u can do is proof read.
 
^^^ I get you I was just asking as EVERY other device I've had prior had the cancel option and really its this auto correct that I need to turn off i suppose
 
I see.
Im not sure if u know how to turn it off or not but if not than go into settings > language and keyboard > android keyboard and uncheck wanted functions.
