Popular instant messaging app WhatsApp keeps on introducing new features to improve the overall user experience on the app. Now a new report has surfaced online revealing that the Meta-owned platform is working on an edit message feature. The upcoming WhatsApp feature will give users the ability to edit sent messages on WhatsApp.
According to WABetaInfo, the Twitter account which keeps track of the build changes coming to WhatsApp has revealed that WhatsApp is working on the ability to edit sent messages. WABetaInfo shared a screenshot of the upcoming feature which shows that users will get the ability to edit a sent message for everyone. The feature is expected to roll out for WhatsApp users with a future update.
“As you can see in this screenshot, your messages will be successfully edited for everyone in the conversation in case other people are on the latest version of WhatsApp. If you’re wondering what happens to edited messages sent to people that use an old version of WhatsApp, this shouldn’t be a problem as WhatsApp will likely release the ability to edit messages when all versions incompatible with this feature have expired, so people will have to upgrade to the latest version of the app that can receive edited messages,” mentioned WABetaInfo.
With this new feature, users will be able to correct their mistakes quickly and easily without sending additional messages. The report also adds that users will be able to edit the sent message within 15 minutes of sending it. Also, the messages edited by the users will be marked with an ‘edited’ label.
The ability to edit messages is under development and it will be released in a future update of the app.
