Proposal
I'm proposing an unsend option in the chat. I'm also suggesting that there should be an option to reply back to a message sent by a user.
By clicking and long pressing on the message received you should be able to get an option to reply back to that message.
For the unsend option for a message I'd like to see it near the message when you long press on it. Below is the image where you can see the options available when you long press on a message
Mockups / Examples
Below are the examples of how this should look like.
For replying option :
For unsend option:
Benefits
The benefits of having these two features are:
The feature of having unsending a message is very useful. You can delete messages from the user's chat when you unintentionally send a message that was supposed to be sent to some other user. Or delete the messages from their chat as well when you want to send them messages temporarily.
Having the reply back option we can reply back directly to messages and be more specific and hence improve the conversation as well.
