How to Edit Sent Messages on WhatsApp

WhatsApp is one of the most popular messaging apps in the world, and it recently added a new feature that allows users to edit sent messages. This can be helpful for correcting typos, adding more information, or changing the overall tone of a message.

To edit a sent message on WhatsApp, you will need to have the latest version of the app installed on your phone. Once you have updated WhatsApp, follow these steps:

1. Open the WhatsApp conversation that contains the message you want to edit.
2. Long-press on the message that you want to edit.
3. A menu will appear. Tap on “Edit.”
4. Make the necessary changes to the message.
5. Tap on the “Send” button.

The edited message will now appear in the chat history. The recipient of the message will be notified that the message has been edited. If the recipient has already seen the original message, they will see an unread notification alert for the same message.

It is important to note that you can only edit a sent message within 15 minutes of sending it. After 15 minutes, the edit option will no longer be available.

If you need to edit a message that you sent more than 15 minutes ago, you can delete the message and send a new one with the correct information. To delete a message, long-press on the message and then tap on “Delete.” You can choose to delete the message for everyone or just for yourself.

Editing sent messages is a new feature on WhatsApp, and it is not yet available to everyone. If you do not see the edit option in WhatsApp, it may be because you are not using the latest version of the app. You can check for updates by going to the App Store or Google Play Store.
