Following the announcement that certain important features, such as group polls and WhatsApp Premium, are in the works, WhatsApp is finally working on the ability to edit text messages for a future release of WhatsApp beta for Android, iOS, and Desktop!
WhatsApp is finally focused on building new messaging capabilities, and we are excited to share the next significant addition with you today. After introducing the ability to reply to messages as a new messaging feature, WhatsApp is currently working on allowing users to modify their text messages in a future app version! If you’re wondering, we introduced this functionality on Twitter 5 years ago, but WhatsApp removed it after a few days. Finally, WhatsApp is working on reintroducing the text message edit option!
WhatsApp is developing a new option that will let us edit text messages, so we will finally be able to fix any typo after sending a message! Probably there won’t be an edit history to check previous versions of edited messages but since this feature is under development, their plans may change before releasing the feature. In addition, details about the time window to let people edit their messages are unknown at the moment, but we will immediately let you know when there is news.
Even though this screenshot is from the WhatsApp beta for Android, WhatsApp is working on bringing the same feature to the WhatsApp beta for iOS and Desktop, and more information will be released later. Unfortunately, because this feature is still in development, we do not know when it will be available to beta testers, but you can be sure to see an updated page on this website when the function is available.
