WhatsApp introduces message editing feature for users

howtogeek.com

WhatsApp now allows users to edit sent messages, making it easier to correct typos or add details. To edit, long press the message on mobile or right-click on desktop, select "Edit," make changes, and save. Users have a 15-minute window to edit messages. After that, they must delete the original message to send a new one. Edits can be made in personal and group chats, but not in Community announcement groups. When a message is edited, the recipient does not receive a notification. The word "Edited" appears below the message, indicating changes were made without drawing attention.
