Although texting the wrong person may seem like a silly mistake, it’s actually a lot easier than you would have thought. According to leading psychologists, many of us choose to text people rather than call them because they offer instant connection.

In this case, Apple and Android users have various different apps on offer that allow smartphone users to double check their texts before they send them, or even scheduling apps that allow you to put a text into a drafts inbox before sending it on.
