  • Hold and tap the message you want to edit.
  • Click on the three-dot menu option in the upper right corner.
  • Tap the edit option.
  • A text box and keyboard appear. Make the necessary changes. Click the check mark option when you are done editing.
  • The edited message will appear marked “Edited” on both the sender’s and receiver’s side.

You get a 15-minute editing window. So it’s ideal for typos. You can also edit multiple times in this window. Currently, this feature is only available on Android. However, iOS users should get it soon. Needless to say, this feature will be available to beta users first. After the main bugs (if any) are removed in the testing phase, the ability to edit WhatsApp messages should reach the general public.
