Abstract

Some embodiments of a method for withdrawal a message include receiving, by a mobile device, an input to send a first message to a first recipient, the first message containing at least one image or video. The mobile device processes the first message for transmittal to the first recipient. In response to detecting a request to withdraw the first message within a timeout period, the mobile device determines that the first message has not been sent from the mobile device and terminates the processing of the first message for sending.
