- Users will be able to modify their messages within 15 minutes of hitting send
LONDON: WhatsApp has granted users one of its most awaited features 鈥� the ability to edit messages.
鈥淔or the moments when you make a mistake or simply change your mind, you can now edit your sent messages on WhatsApp,鈥� the Meta Platforms Inc-owned messaging app said in a blog post on Monday.
With the feature rolling out globally in the coming weeks, senders will be able to modify their messages within 15 minutes of hitting send.
The function can be accessed by long-pressing the message and choosing 鈥渆dit鈥� in the drop-down menu. The modified message will carry the label 鈥渆dited,鈥� without showing edit history.
Competing apps such as Telegram and Signal already allow users to edit messages, while microblogging site Twitter rolled out the ability to edit tweets to select users last year.
