WhatsApp Users Can Now Edit Their Messages

Meta-owned messaging platform, WhatsApp now allows users to edit their messages. This new feature will offer users more “control” over conversations. Senders will be able to modify their messages within 15 minutes of hitting send.

“For the moments when you make a mistake or simply change your mind, you can now edit your sent messages on WhatsApp,” the Meta Platforms-owned messaging app said in a blog post on Monday.

“From correcting a simple misspelling to adding extra context to a message, we’re excited to bring you more control over your chats.”

To use the new messaging feature, users will need to “long-press on a sent message and choose ‘edit’ from the menu”.

The feature will start to roll out globally in the coming weeks.

WhatsApp has since introduced various features including:

Keep in chat: this allows users to keep ‘disappearing messages’ with the consent of the sender.
