EDIT MESSAGES
In the past, we posted news about a new feature under development: the ability to edit messages. We posted the first screenshot during the development of WhatsApp beta for Android and another one from WhatsApp Desktop beta. The feature is still under development but thanks to the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.22.20.12 update, we discovered that the company keeps working on the feature for a future update of the Android app:
WhatsApp is now working on the process that lets the app update the message by using its edited version: this is a sign that WhatsApp keeps working on this feature. In case you are using an outdated build of WhatsApp, you have to update the app when you receive an edited version of a message from the recipient or a linked device. As we mentioned in the previous articles about edited messages, the information about the time window to let people edit their messages is still unknown, unfortunately.
The ability to edit messages is not available because it is still under development and we are not sure about when it will be released. We will immediately let you know when there is a compatible update or additional information about the development of the feature.
