FAQs

Is the unsent message project real? ›

The Unsent Project is a collection of over 1 million unsent text messages to first loves. Messages are submitted anonymously from people all over the world. Rora Blue started the Unsent Project in 2015 to figure out what color people see love in.

And no, there's no way to retrieve that unsent message. Once you unsend it, it's gone. What you can do, though, is copy the contents of the message before you unsend it.

The website hosts over 5,000,000 unsent text messages to peoples first loves. And the term “first love” can be open to interpretation. This could not only be a past lover but also a friend, parents, siblings, exes, even pets. The mission of the Unsent Project is to figure out what color people see love in.

You can permanently unsend a message that you've sent or just hide a message from your view. If you select Unsend for you, other people in the chat will still see the messages in their chat screen.
