For a long, long time, people have been flooding social media with a special request to WhatsApp developers. Now, the company decided to fulfill the desire of its users. Here comes the edit message button.
WhatsApp is late for this race, given that Telegram has had this function for a long time – and even Twitter allows payers to edit a publication.

However, as green is still the most popular messaging application in Brazil, the new function arrives with an extra taste.
Who gave the information was the WABetaInfo website, responsible for advancing several WhatsApp news. According to publication, the feature should arrive for users in the coming weeks. Meanwhile, some users of the beta versions of the app have already started to receive the function.
Initially, the novelty should reach mobile device applications. Subsequently, it will arrive at the whatsapp web.
How will it work?
Also according to the WABetaInfo website, the function of editing messages will have rules. Users will have up to 15 minutes after sending to modify the message as they wish. This goes for individual or group conversations.
Several edits may be made during this period. However, the portal did not make it clear whether there will be a history of the various versions of the message.
Another much-requested function from WhatsApp has also arrived in the app
Users of the messaging app also asked a lot for a feature that would make it possible to “open” voice messages without listening to them. This was promptly attended to.
Last month, Meta started making available to app users the function of audio transcription. It works as follows: you receive an audio and a little balloon with its transcription appears below.
This way, you don't need to listen to know its content. It is ideal for those who live in meetings and cannot open voice messages. Or just don't like it.
