Delete Saved Handwritten Messages from iOS Messages: Messages app adds a lot of new features to the iMessage service, including the ability to send handwritten messages. Because of this feature, users can send important messages to their friends in the most personal way possible. You can even use handwriting to draw shapes and send them over iMessage to your contacts.
Even though the Handwritten message feature is useful, there is one thing about it that many users find annoying. When you draw a message and send it to a friend, the whole image is saved in the ‘Recents’ section of the keyboard, which you can access by tapping the ‘App Store’ button on the keyboard.
The keyboard can store up to 24 of the most recent messages you wrote by hand. This can be helpful, but it can also be embarrassing, especially if someone else is using your device. There is a simple way to get rid of the handwritten messages you just sent. All you have to do is follow a few easy steps.
