Gizchina News of the week
It’s been a few years since users have been asking for this feature. And it’s surprising that it has taken so long for WhatsApp to finally launch it. The editing feature was only recently available in the beta version of the app. And only a handful of testers have had the pleasure of experiencing it. However, the good news is that the editing feature will soon be available for all users.
Although the teaser video released by WhatsApp doesn’t provide much information regarding the exact launch date, it confirms that the editing feature will be added to the stable version of the app very soon. The editing process will be simple and straightforward. All you need to do is hold your finger on the message and select the “edit” option from the drop-down menu.
Beta testers have reported that they can edit messages up to 15 minutes after sending. This gives users enough time to correct typos or rephrase unclear messages. Once a message has been edited, it will be marked as “modified”. So that all participants are aware that it has got a modification.
While we wait for the editing feature to be official, WhatsApp is also working on another feature that will add an extra layer of security to the app. This feature will allow users to protect their secret conversations on WhatsApp with their fingerprints.
The editing feature is a long-awaited addition to WhatsApp’s features and is sure to be a hit among its users. Many users have been frustrated by typos or unclear messages. And have been waiting for the ability to edit their messages. With the editing feature, WhatsApp is sure to become an even more popular messaging app.
