Haven’t we all been guilty of wanting to delete a message that we already sent? While it’s embarrassing to have a notification informing the other person of your deleting the message, it’s definitely less scary to have the original message being read by them. But, what if we told you that soon you will be able to edit the message you already sent on WhatsApp instead of having to delete the same? Keep reading as we tell you all about this probable update on the much-adored app.
WhatsApp To Unveil Edit Sent Message Option, Soon?
WhatsApp is undoubtedly one of the most popular messaging apps used all over the world. And soon this platform, which is owned by Meta might allow users to edit their message after they have already sent it. Confused? Well, going by the recent announcement made by Mark Zuckerberg, the Chief Executive of Meta, this feature will be available to WhatsApp users around the world in the following weeks.
However, there is a catch in this fantastic new update! Users will be allowed to edit the messages, but it must be done within 15 minutes of sending the message. So, if you have sent a message that you wish was better phrased, make sure you do it before your 15 minutes are up! It’s worth mentioning that once this new feature is released, all you will have to do is press on the message and select edit to change whatever it is that you wish to change in the message sent.

New Chat Lock Feature Also On The Cards?
This brilliant news comes after Meta also shared on May 15, the new chat lock feature, which is to be unveiled on WhatsApp. With this feature, people will be able to lock and hide conversations with the help of removing the chat thread from the app’s main inbox. Thereafter, these messages can only be opened with a password, facial recognition, or fingerprint. Using this function will also be pretty easy, as all the user will have to do is tap on the name of a person or the group chat, and then select the chat lock option.
So with these functions said to be rolled out pretty soon, what do you think about the said features? Let us know your thoughts about them in the comments.
