Recently WhatsApp released a feature that lets users lock chats, continuing the series of enhancements, WhatsApp’s “edit messages feature” is coming soon to users worldwide……..!! At present the feature has been available for a select number of beta users for a while. WhatsApp has been testing the feature not just on mobile but on its web version as well. Though the messaging App does not explicitly mention the name of the feature. However, an 18-second-long video hints at the release of the edit messages feature.
Though the exact message date is yet to disclose the edit messages feature will be available soon on the messaging app as affirmed by WhatsApp. It will be there in the different languages. Let’s learn more about the upcoming WhatsApp edit messages feature. How will it work?
WhatsApp Edit Messages: How Will It Work?
The “Edit Message” feature will be there on Android and iOS devices soon. It was available on the beta version of the Android app in September 2022. It was also spotted being tested in the iOS 23.6.0.74 beta version of the iPhone app.
Desire messages can be edited during the 15-minute window that they want to edit. Soon after that, you’ll see the “Edit Message” action button. Tap on it and a new window with the message to be edited will pop up. Only within a span of 15 minutes to maintain the authenticity of the conversation, WhatsApp will allow users to edit messages.
According to WABetaInfo, users will have a limited window before they can edit a message on WhatsApp. While the official video did not reveal any details, WABetaInfo claims that the beta version allowed users to edit messages within 15 minutes.

That being said, it is nice to see WhatsApp confirming the release of the anticipated feature for its users across platforms. Telegram, once of WhatsApp’s arch rivals, has had the edit messages feature available for years. WhatsApp will play catch-up with a bunch of rival messaging apps that have already been providing the feature for months. However, it is unknown if the app will show a log that maintains the list of edits made during the editing timeframe.
Hope this helps, stay tuned to know more via @Samnews24…
