WhatsApp has taken a page from Telegram and Signal's book, letting you edit your messages. Messages can be edited for up to 15 minutes after being sent, so there's no need to panic if you spot a typo or autocomplete makes what you said totally unrecognizable.
“From correcting a simple misspelling to adding extra context to a message, we’re excited to bring you more control over your chats,” the Meta-owned company wrote in a May 23 blog post. Similar to how the process is handled on Meta's social media platforms Facebook and Instagram, altered messages will show up as “edited,” notifying recipients that a change has been made. But they won't be able to see exactly what that change entails.
