It would be better to have an optional remorse timer on Messages app . But 2s for sending messages is OK , 5s is a bit longer .

Yes, that is nice - sometimes when trying to position cursor I hit "Send" button, thus sending not finished messages.

Edit: Ok it's not a duplicate. :) Edit2: IF this should be implemented then it only should be optional.

I agree that this should be optional. I would go mad if I had to wait (and see the flashing remorse timer) before every message.

But the beauty of remorse timer as implemented by Jolla is that you do NOT have to wait - if you want to cancel sending you tap it, if you want to send - you just swipe to the next thing you want to do and forget about it, your message will be sent.

You do have to wait, five seconds in fact. You can do other things meanwhile, but if you need to send a message quickly those five seconds will be pure agony. In case of SMS I can imagine it doesn't matter that much, but try having an IM conversation where you need to wait 5 seconds for every single one of your own messages to send to the other person. Even 2 seconds as suggested by @fishegg really wouldn't be very nice. What's more, if you only have 2 seconds to regret your decision of sending the message, chances are you wouldn't even notice your mistake before the 2 seconds were over so the timer is pointless.
