WhatsApp is developing a new feature that will allow app users to edit their text messages after they’ve been sent, saving them from having to delete them to rewrite them.

The new feature will allow WhatsApp users to edit their messages in case they somehow make a mistake while typing. The novelty will appear in a submenu with options for that particular message, along with others already available such as info and copy.

This new function has been developed by specialized media. WABetaInfo. In addition, the portal reminded that WhatsApp talked about it back in 2017, even though it threw it out days later.

It is unknown if there will be a specific time to edit the message after sending it. The specified environment excludes the entry of an edit history of messages to check for previous versions. However, he acknowledges that his plans for the eventual distribution of WhatsApp may change.

The new feature is still under development. Although the portal is repeating its tests in the Android beta, it is expected to reach the iOS and desktop betas as well.

WhatsApp is also testing another feature: reactions to messages with different skin tones. According to WABetaInfo, this feature is currently rolling out to users of Android beta version 2.22.13.4.
