Are you tired of the autocorrect on your phone playing tricks on you? Do you always end up sending messages like “I’ll be there in a pineapple”, “I’m dying to meat you” or even “I love ewe”? Fortunately, WhatsApp has finally listened to us and has just launched a feature that allows us to edit our messages to correct any errors or change what we said. In this blog post, we’ll explain step by step how to edit messages on WhatsApp.

Keep in mind that the message will be modified in real time on both your phone and the person you sent it to, so they will know that you have edited it as there will be a note by the message saying that it has been edited.

How to edit a message on WhatsApp?

In order to edit a message on WhatsApp, just follow these steps:

  1. Open WhatsApp and find the message you want to edit.
  2. Press and hold the message until a menu appears.
  3. Once selected, tap the button with three dots at the top right if you’re on Android. If you use iOS, on the other hand, long-press the message and the options will appear.
  4. Tap the “Edit” button.
  5. Make the necessary corrections or changes to your message.
  6. Tap the “Send” button to send the edited message.

How to know if a text has been edited on WhatsApp?

When a message has been edited on WhatsApp, you will see a small message below the edited text that says “Edited.” You should also know that you only have fifteen minutes to edit a message after sending it. So if you want to modify something else, you better pay attention and not get distracted.

It’s important to note that if a message has been edited multiple times, you will only see the most recent version of the edited message. It’s also worth mentioning that if the recipient has disabled message editing notifications, they will not receive a notification that the message has been edited.

So… Let’s say goodbye to the headaches caused by autocorrect and the countless messages to correct them. However, let’s admit that WhatsApp has given us more than a few laughs over the years, although it has also led to some awkward moments.

Remember that to edit a WhatsApp message, you simply need to press and hold the message and select the “Edit” option. We hope this guide has been helpful in learning how to edit messages on WhatsApp. We’ll be sharing the funniest messages you’ve sent over the years in our stories. Tag us to have a laugh together 😉
