Users of WhatsApp may soon be able to modify their messages: Report

WhatsApp may be aiming to add a much-requested feature to its smartphone app in the near future. Future upgrades from the firm may eventually provide the ability to alter messages that have already been delivered.

According to a WABetaInfo post, a snapshot of a development version was released. This graphic depicts an option to "Edit message," which is presently unavailable in the live release. This screenshot was taken from the Android version of the app, but the functionality will almost certainly be added to the iOS version as well. It's unclear how this functionality will operate on the popular chat app right now.

Despite the fact that this is one of the most sought features, it can assist in the correction of previously sent messages. Users now have the option of correcting their message by providing a clarification in a new one or just deleting the message and submitting a new one. Since a result, this might be a tremendous shift in terms of quality of life, as it de-clutters users' discussions.

The new Edit option will display when one has picked a specific conversation bubble in the top right area of the app. In the live builds, this menu presently holds the Copy and Info options. When this functionality will be available in the WhatsApp programme is unknown. So keep tuned for further information, as we will provide updates as more information becomes available.
