WhatsApp now lets you edit messages

We’ve all sent a quick message on WhatsApp, only to find out that it’s full of errors. But those days are over, thanks to the latest WhatsApp feature.

Meta’s messaging app has launched an Edit button. “For times when you make a mistake or just change your mind, it’s now possible to edit sent messages,” WhatsApp said in a blog post.

However, there is a big catch: it is only possible to change your message up to 15 minutes after sendingonce this time is over it will be impossible to change it.

“From correcting a simple spelling mistake to adding extra context to a message, we’re excited to give you more control over your chats,” the post read. To use the new tool, just long-press on a sent message and choose “Edit” from the menu.

“Edited” will appear next to these edited messages., so your contacts know about the fix, but can’t see the edit history. “As with all personal messages, media and calls, your messages and the edits you make are protected by end-to-end encryption,” WhatsApp added.

Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg also posted about the new feature, andwrite on your Facebook page: “You can now edit your WhatsApp messages up to 15 minutes after they are sent!”

The editing tool has started rolling out to select users around the world and will be available to everyone in the coming weeks..
