How to unsend email with Undo Send in Mail on iPad

You can change your mind and unsend an email message in the Mail app with Undo Send. You can also set a delay for all emails to give yourself a little more time to unsend them.

Normally, there are 10 seconds to change your mind after you’ve sent an email, and a delay gives you more time than that, for whatever length you choose. You can also check your email, send email, and save a draft in Mail on iPad.
