Home Technology Application Say goodbye to typos: WhatsApp launches edit message feature The edit history will not be displayed, ensuring that the original content remains private by Divsha Bhat May 23, 2023 WhatsApp has introduced a new feature that allows users to edit their messages within a 15-minute window after sending them. To use this feature, users simply need to long-press on a sent message and select the “Edit” option from the menu. When a message is edited, it will be marked as such, indicating that it has been modified. This feature eliminates the previous inconvenience of having to delete a hastily sent message and send a fresh one. In such cases, recipients were notified of the deleted message with a replacement stating, “This message was deleted.” However, the edit history will not be displayed, ensuring that the original content remains private. The end-to-end encryption that safeguards all personal messages, media and calls on the platform also applies to the edited messages. According to a blog post by WhatsApp, the global rollout of this feature has already begun and will be available to all users in the coming weeks. IT’S HERE 📣 Message Editing is rolling out now. You now get up to 15 minutes after sending a message to edit it. So you don’t have to worry if you duck it up 🦆 pic.twitter.com/JCWNzmXwVr — WhatsApp (@WhatsApp) May 22, 2023 Mark Zuckerberg, founder and CEO of Meta, shared a WhatsApp update on his Facebook page, demonstrating a message that was changed from “Beast of luck!” to “Best of luck!” Image credit: Unsplash/Social Read: WhatsApp allows users to hide ‘online status’, announces new ‘Communities’ feature Tags Application meta social media Technology WhatsApp 0 Comments You might also like Experiential marketing: Future trends and a rise in demand for sensory experiences WhatsApp introduces Channels, here’s how it will help CAFU starts recruitment drive to hire tech talent Eltizam Group’s Chris Roberts shares AI’s impact on property management, other trends
