WABetaInfo announced that it will come with the Message Editing feature for Android users, with its official Twitter account today. WhatsApp, the most used messaging application today, introduced the “delete from both sides” feature of messages a few years ago. However, if the message was deleted, it was not supported by some users for both parties to see it.
For this reason, it is thought that the Message Edit function, which is in the testing phase, will be used instead of deleting the message. So, how will the Message Editing function of WhatsApp work, and what are the details? Let’s take a look at the details of the news together.
Message Edit feature will be available for a limited time!
WhatsApp Message Editing feature, as the name suggests, will allow the editing of sent messages. WABetaInfo announced that they will bring the innovation for the editing of typos. The function will only be available up to 15 minutes after sending the message. After the time has elapsed, the message cannot be edited. It is unclear for now when the feature, which is in the testing phase, will come.
When the application first introduced the two-sided message deletion feature, it kept the time limited. After a while, he made a change by giving additional time. For this reason, it is likely that WhatsApp will extend the time in the same way after introducing the Message Editing feature. In addition, tampered messages will appear in the lower right corner of the message as “edited”.
The Message Edit feature is already included in the business application Slack. Likewise, Twitter has recently announced the Tweet Editing feature, which is similar.
