Edit Your Way to Perfect Messages: WhatsApp Editing Comes to iOS and Android!

06 november 2023 By: Saba Hassan

WhatsApp introduced message editing, but there's a time limit of 15 minutes. Edited messages show "Edited" next to the message, but there is no edit history, so you won't know how many changes were made.

1. Long-press the message. 2. On iOS, select "Edit." 3. On Android, after long press, tap the three dots (or a pencil icon on some devices) and choose "Edit." 4. Make your changes and tap the checkmark to save.
