Messages can only be edited within 15 minutes since they were sent. Once opened, they will be able to select the “Edit message” option. To edit a message, users will need to open the menu for that message by clicking on the dropdown icon on the top right. However, leaker site WABetaInfo reports that only some beta users have the ability to edit messages, with the rollout planned to be done over the coming weeks. In our tests, users were able to gain access to the feature as long as they join the beta programme. Those using WhatsApp Web will need to opt-in to the beta by going to settings, tapping on “Help”, and then ticking the checkbox for the “Join the beta” option to potentially gain access to the feature.ĪLSO READ: Mic running in the background?
