WhatsApp users can revise sent messages at any time.

One of WhatsApp's most requested features, the ability to edit messages, has now been made available to users.

You can now edit sent messages on WhatsApp, according to a blog post published on Monday by the messaging service owned by Meta Platforms Inc (META.O). "For the moments when you make a mistake or simply change your mind, you can now edit your sent messages on WhatsApp," the post read.

Senders will be able to edit their messages within 15 minutes of pressing send thanks to a feature that will be made available globally in the coming weeks.
By holding down the message for a long time and selecting "edit" from the drop-down menu, the feature can be accessed. The label "edited" will appear next to the modified message but the edit history won't be visible.

Editing messages is already possible in rival apps like Telegram and Signal, and last year, Twitter began rolling out the feature to some users.
