Finally available on WhatsApp’s web platform, the long-awaited capability that enables users to edit transmitted messages. The widely used messaging platform took its time developing and introducing this functionality even though it has been present on several competing messaging apps for quite some time.
The feature is currently available to beta users of WhatsApp Web version 2.2319.9, claims a report by WABetaInfo. It is important to remember that WhatsApp Desktop and WhatsApp Web are two separate programmes. WhatsApp Desktop is a native client created for laptops and PCs, whilst WhatsApp Web is an online platform that can be used using web browsers.
On WhatsApp Web, altering a message is a very easy process. By pressing and holding a message, users can amend it by choosing the edit option. However, the user only has 15 minutes to make changes to the message before it is sent. By enabling users to fix any errors they may have committed, this feature hopes to keep the message’s legitimacy.
This functionality has been tested by WhatsApp on its Android beta version for some time, and the most recent beta version indicates that it is nearing completion. This indicates that Android phones will soon have access to the capability as well. It is anticipated to be released soon for iOS devices.
A key update for WhatsApp is the ability to modify messages because it improves the entire user experience. It assists users in fixing any typing or information-addition problems. As a result, the function is probably going to be well-liked by WhatsApp users.
The inclusion of the message-editing feature to WhatsApp Web is a great development, and it won’t be long before it is made available on mobile devices as well. WhatsApp is taking its time, as usual, to make sure that this function is well tested before it is made available to the general public. It’s an interesting development for WhatsApp users, and we’re interested to see how it improves the entire user experience on the app.
