Lifesaver! You can now delete those drunk texts BEFORE they’re read

Finally technology has caught up with our lives, and provided us with the one thing we've always longed for.

You know what we're talking about – the ability to delete a text from someone's phone before they've read it.

So next time you send a text to someone by mistake (argh) or drunkenly message your ex (urgh), you can stop the inevitable, all thanks to a new app called Ansa. 

Ansa is a texting service, much like Viber or WhatsApp, but with the added ability to remotely delete messages, before or after they're read.

And if you're having a conversation you'd rather not ever share with the world, you can turn on the "off the record" feature, meaning you can send messages, photos or videos that "self-destruct" in seconds.

Here are just a few times we WISH we'd had Ansa at our disposal…

1. That time we clicked 'Reply All' on a work email by mistake
After using a few, shall we say, unsavoury words about someone in the office

 

2. That time we sent a message to the WhatsApp group chat that was meant for someone else
This guy knows what we're talking about

 

3. That time we thought 3am was the perfect time to re-connect with our ex
3am is not the perfect time for anything except Abrakebabra

 

4. That time someone sent "I'm pregnant" messages to our entire contacts list as a "hilarious" prank
That is NEVER hilarious, btw.
