What is you removed a heart from imessage?

Okay, here's information about removing a heart from iMessage, formatted in markdown with links:


It appears you're asking about how to undo or remove a "heart" reaction (or other Tapback) that you've applied to an iMessage. Here's how that works:

To remove a heart (or any other Tapback) you've added to a message:

  1. Long Press: On the message you reacted to, long press (tap and hold) on the message bubble. This will bring up the Tapback menu again.
  2. Select Your Reaction Again: Tap the same reaction (the heart, in this case) that you initially chose. Tapping it again will remove the reaction.

This action is instant on your end, but the recipient might still see it temporarily depending on their connection and device.

If you are having trouble removing a heart, ensure you have a stable internet connection and that both you and the recipient are using iMessage (blue text bubbles, not green SMS). If the issue persists, restarting your device may help. This usually resolves issues with iMessage glitches. This usually resolves issues with iMessage glitches.

Important things to note:

  • This applies to all Tapbacks, not just the heart. So the same process applies if you want to remove a thumbs up, laughter, exclamation points, or a question mark.
  • The recipient may briefly see the change, or not even notice depending on timing. There's no notification that you've removed a Tapback.
  • If you are referring to an actual image of a heart in the message and wish to delete it, this is a completely different topic, and this refers only to removing a Tapback reaction.
