In the beta version of WhatsApp under the number 2.22.2.14, the function of editing sent messages appeared. This was reported by Android Police with reference to the source WABetaInfo.

Currently, the new option allows you to correct the text of the message only 15 minutes after sending it. After editing the message, the “Edited” mark appears. Located in the area next to the departure time.

It is stated that all the details of the operation of the new option are currently unknown. For example, Android Police wondered how an edit would affect a message that the recipient hasn’t opened yet: whether a redaction mark will appear?

However, it remains unclear when editing the message will be available to users of published versions of WhatsApp and on which operating system the functionality will appear first.
