EDITING MESSAGE
In the article about the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.22.20.12 update, we posted news about editing messages: thanks to this feature, users will be able to fix their typos after sending their messages. The feature is still under development but thanks to the recent WhatsApp beta for Android 2.22.22.14 update, we discovered that there is finally news about how messages are marked as edited within a conversation:
As you can see in this screenshot, the label "Edited" will show up when a message has been edited. In addition, we can finally reveal that WhatsApp will give you exactly 15 minutes to edit a message. As happens with deleted messages for everyone, WhatsApp may not ensure that your message will really be edited if the recipient does not turn on their device within a certain amount of time (probably, a day or a little more).
Unfortunately, this feature is under development and we don't have any information about a release date, and we don't even have information when a new update will be released that addresses the issue with notifications. As always, we will inform you in a new article on this website when there is a bug-fix update for notifications and a compatible version that lets some lucky beta testers edit their messages.
