It is now possible to edit sent WhatsApp messages on these phones

According to a report by Android Police, WhatsApp finally added an edit button in the Android app. However, this feature is in the beta version v2.23.10.13, so it is not yet showing up on all phones running this operating system, even on iOS.

How to edit messages on WhatsApp

When you want to edit a message, you just have to hold down the text and touch the three ellipses to display a pop-up menu. Here you must click on “Edit” to correct the message. It is worth mentioning that you only have 15 minutes to edit the content.

Any message you have sent from another device cannot be edited, even within that 15-minute time frame. It should always be done from the same device that was sent.
