WhatsApp always tries to come up with new features. Now, according to the WABetainfo, WhatApp users may be able to edit messages once they have sent it to others.

It is all known knowledge that Apple has come up with a same type of feature for iMessage users with the iOS 16 update.

It is said that the Facebook-owned app rolled out a new beta update for Android smartphone users through Google Play Store that comes with a reference to the new feature and will have a specific edited label in the chat bubble of the message that has been edited by the sender. It looks like this new feature is going to be an alternative option to the delete message feature.

 As of now, users can now delete a text after sending a message to others after two days and 12 hours. According to WABetaInfo, WhatsApp will give the user around 15 minutes to edit a message after sending it. However, there is no official information on whether the edited messages can be again edited or not. This new feature is still under development. Now, the WhatsApp beta testers won’t have access to the new feature as well.

New details about the implementation of this feature are coming to light as time passes. And the most recent WhatsApp Beta allows us to see how it will operate once it is available to all users of the messaging app.

According to WaBetaInfo, WhatsApp version 2.22.22.14 appears to be laying the groundwork for the introduction of “editable” messages. As we can see in the screenshot, when we edit a message after sending it, an indicator indicating that the message has undergone modifications will appear. The other persons will be aware if the sender has made any changes in this manner.

On the other hand, users of WhatsApp will have fifteen minutes to edit a message. It won’t be possible to make any changes after this period has passed.

However, if the recipient’s phone is off for a while and turns back on several hours later, WhatsApp cannot guarantee that they will see the edited version of the message. Similar things take place when users delete messages permanently for everyone.

The company behind the messaging app has not yet announced a release date for WhatsApp Edited Messages. Which is still in development. To make sure we have the most recent features, we advise you to download the most recent version of the app. And keep the app constantly updated.

At the moment, we do not have a specific date for the launch of the function of editing WhatsApp messages. As usual, it can take weeks or months to launch. As was the case for features that were in testing recently.
