WhatsApp is all set to release another big update to the app after rolling out the ability to lock some super personal chats on Android as well as iOS. The platform has confirmed via its official Twitter handle that the new Edit Message feature will soon arrive for everyone. WhatsApp hasn’t confirmed the exact name of the feature, but it has posted a video that shows that users will soon be able to edit their messages.
In addition to this, the official video doesn’t reveal how this edit message option will work, but WABetaInfo has given details on the same as the feature is available in the beta versions of the app. People will get only 15 minutes of time to edit any message and once the provided time limit expires, you will not be able to make any changes.
The feature is purely to save people from the embarrassment of accidentally sending a wrong message. There are times when some of your messages get auto-corrected because of your mobile keyboard, which changes the meaning of a message. WhatsApp already gives you an option to delete a message, but then you have to type the message again. The new update will let you correct a message and save time. Here is everything you need to know about the latest WhatsApp update.
How to Edit Message on WhatsApp :-
According to the beta version of the app, once you send a message to anyone, WhatsApp will give you a 15-minute window undo or edit it. One will just be required to long-press a particular message that they want to edit. After long-pressing a message, WhatsApp will display the “Edit Message” option and you can tap on it to change your text message. Once you do that, the app opens a new window to let you update the message.
When will Edit Message feature arrive on WhatsApp?
WhatsApp will soon release the new Edit Message feature on the platform. The company has just teased the arrival of this update and hasn’t revealed when it will be made available to everyone. The teaser says it will be available soon.
The feature is already available in the beta version of Android and iOS. Now that WhatsApp has teased the feature, we expect the company to release the edit button in the coming days or weeks. You can stay tuned to India Today Tech for all the latest updates.
