Apple recently rolled out its latest iOS 16 version for all iPhone users, which rolled out a bunch of nifty features. One of them is a boon for those who make frequent typos or even send messages accidentally. With the arrival of iOS 16, iPhone users can make changes to sent messages and even unsend the message itself. Now, WhatsApp is on way to bring a similar feature. WhatsApp's update tracker, WabetaInfo has confirmed that WhatsApp is now working on bringing the ability to edit messages in a future update of the Desktop app. This function has been discovered in the most recent Android beta.

“It's been a long time since the latest news about editing messages but finally, we have something new to share with you. Fortunately, the development of the feature that lets us edit messages has not been abandoned and WhatsApp still plans to implement it in a future release of the app,” WabetaInfo mentioned in a blogpost.

Along with the good news, WhatsApp tracker also has shared a screenshot which shows that WhatsApp is developing a new view that lets people enter the text that will replace the original sent message, just like the iMessage feature with iOS 16 update. Sadly, as the feature is under development, the details about the time window to let WhatsApp users edit the message with this upcoming feature is still unknown at the moment.

Apart from this, the report says, “an edit history should not be available but since this feature is under development, this may be implemented before the release of the feature in the future. In any case, we will let you know when we discover something more.”

When will you get this edit message feature on your WhatsApp? It is still unknown! But you can expect new development soon on this upcoming feature.
