WhatsApp announced that this will be possible up to 15 minutes after sending a message in the application and that the edited writings will show the legend ‘Edited’, so the people in the conversation will be able to know if a message has been modified, but they will not see what it was. what was changed.
“Now you can edit your messages in WhatsApp up to 15 minutes after sending them,” announced Mark Zuckerberg, owner of Meta, in a post on Facebook.

“From correcting a simple misspelling to adding additional context to a message, we’re excited to give you more control over your chats,” WhatsApp said in a statement.
The function of deleting a message in a conversation is still an option for those who want to delete a mistake outright or want to write a different message.
