Deleting wrong messages sent to the wrong group or sent to the wrong person sometimes raises eyebrows, leaving people to question what you sent.

Because of that and other reasons, Meta is rolling out an editing message feature.

Users will have fifteen minutes to modify a message. After this time, you will no longer be able to make extra modifications.

However, WhatsApp cannot ensure that the receiver will see the modified version of the message. If their phone is off, they will be able to see the modifications and not the original message when they turn it on.

When people permanently erase communications for everyone, similar things happen.

WABetaInfo notes that the official launch of the WhatsApp Edited Messages has not yet been confirmed.

The launch may take weeks or months, but be sure, it is coming soon.
