Complete Guide On How To Edit Messages On WhatsApp Web

WhatsApp, a widely used messaging application across the globe, recently introduced a new feature that allows users to edit their sent messages within a 15-minute timeframe. This feature is available on Android, iOS, and WhatsApp Web.

The option to edit sent messages provides users with the ability to correct typos, make necessary changes, and even add additional context to their previously sent messages. The edited message will be displayed in the chat with a label indicating that it has been edited.

WhatsApp ensures users that the edited messages, along with all personal messages, media, and calls, are protected by end-to-end encryption to enhance privacy and security. The app clarifies that edited messages will display the label “edited” to inform recipients of the correction, without revealing the edit history.

To guide users on how to edit sent messages on WhatsApp Web, here are the steps

 

  1. Open WhatsApp Web on your PC or laptop by visiting web.whatsapp.com and scanning the QR code with your phone.
  2. Open the chat that contains the message you want to edit.
  3. Locate the specific message you wish to edit.
  4. Tap the downward arrow icon, which will display multiple options.
  5. Select the “Edit” option from the menu to make changes to the message.
  6. The message will be edited, and a note indicating that you edited the message will appear in the chat.

 

For iOS users, the process to edit sent messages on WhatsApp is as follows

 

  1. Open WhatsApp and navigate to the chat window where you sent a message within the last 15 minutes.
  2. Long-press on the sent message.
  3. From the drop-down menu, choose the “Edit” option.
  4. Make the desired changes to the sent message and then press the send button.

 

WhatsApp emphasizes that users simply need to long-press on a sent message and select “Edit” from the menu within a 15-minute timeframe.

By offering the ability to edit sent messages, WhatsApp aims to enhance user experience and provide a convenient way to correct and improve the content of their messages.
