WhatsApp Edit Message:

The WhatsApp edit message tool for the web version was recently available for beta testing. The company has now announced the official launch. This was announced by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg on Monday. This feature is now available for users. This feature will be available to all users over the next few weeks.

WhatsApp’s competitors, such as Telegram and Signal, previously provided this feature. Whatsapp is also starting to provide it to compete. The feature of WhatsApp is similar to that of Apple. With iOS 16, Apple added the ability to edit text messages. Apple users have 15 minutes to change the message. An iPhone user can edit a message five times. However, WhatsApp has not yet disclosed how many times a message can be updated. Instant messaging app WhatsApp has added the ability to edit incoming reading messages. Users will be able to edit their messages even after they have been sent using this feature. However, users will be allowed to modify the message within 15 minutes of sending it.

In a blog post, WhatsApp said that if you make a mistake or just change your mind, you can now modify a sent message. However, users can edit the message only during the first 15 minutes after it is sent. The updated message will be shown with them. That is, the recipient of the message will get the information about the change in the message, but he will not be able to access the previous message. The facility to edit messages on WhatsApp will be available for iOS and Android users.

Beta testers using the new feature

WABetaInfo, a service that follows every WhatsApp update, had earlier provided an update on this functionality. According to the website, WhatsApp has sent this capability to beta testers. According to the source, beta testers are using this feature.

What exactly is the edit button feature of WhatsApp?

Actually, there was no possibility to change the sent message after it was sent on WhatsApp. At the same time, people feel the need to change the message sent many times. The company is introducing new features keeping in mind the needs of this user.

Process to edit message:

To edit a message on WhatsApp, long press on the message.

The message can be changed by selecting the edit option from the menu.

The word ‘Edited’ will be displayed in the message so that the person in front of you knows about it.

WhatsApp said- users’ control over chat will increase

According to WhatsApp, you will be able to revise your message if you make a mistake or change your mind. This will correct any grammatical errors and provide more information to the message. It gives users more control over their communication. End-to-end encryption will also protect personal messages, phone calls and media such as edited messages.

Chat can also be locked in WhatsApp

Messaging app WhatsApp has also added the Chat Lock feature. Users can use it to lock any group or individual conversation. Only you will be able to access your chats once this functionality is enabled. This requires the use of a device PIN or biometric lock. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the new functionality in a Facebook post. He added that the new lock function of WhatsApp will make your communication more secure. Conversations will be saved in a password protected folder. As a result, the contents of the notice or message would be unclear. The messaging app allows you to delete previously sent messages. The ability to modify a sent message saves the time it would take to retype the entire message.
