WhatsApp, a label arrives for modified messages
In the beta version 2.22.22.14. Of Android, the experts of WABetaInfo have found a really interesting novelty. In fact, not only does the confirmation arrive that you will be able to modify the messages. But he also found that the change will be reported.
In fact, a small label shows the word “Edited” in the English version of the app, indicating that the message has undergone some kind of modification.
It also seems that WhatsApp would intend to give 15 minutes of time from sending for a possible modification of the message, so that this function is used above all to change any typing errors shortly after sending.
The editing functionality may not work if the other party does not turn on the device within a certain amount of time, as is already the case with deleted messages. However, this is usually an extreme case, only for those who remain disconnected for more than one or two days.
As always happens with the beta versions of WhatsApp, they are used to test new features that are not necessarily going to arrive soon. And there is also the possibility that they will never debut if the company does not believe they are working the right way. But given how much we have been talking about in the last period, it seems that something is moving. We will keep you posted.
