WhatsApp is working on option to change text messages

WhatsApp is currently working on the ability for users to customize sent text messages. At least, that’s what WABetaInfo claims. The website is probably based on information from a test version of WhatsApp.

WABetaInfo shows a screenshot in which the customization function is visible for already sent messages. The website thinks there will likely be no customization history feature so users won’t be able to view previous versions of custom posts. According to WABetaInfo, the modification option is currently under development, so it is possible that such a function will become available after all. It is currently unclear how much time users will have to adjust sent messages.

The website thinks this will be the next big new feature for the messaging app, although much is still unclear. The screenshot was taken from a WhatsApp beta version for Android, but according to WABetaInfo, the editing feature is also in development for iOS and desktop. It is currently unknown whether this feature will actually be available to beta testers and when that will happen.

In general, WABetaInfo extracts information from test versions of WhatsApp. In recent years, the website has provided early notifications about new features in WhatsApp several times. WhatsApp has also this time not responded to the possible arrival of the text message customization option in this case. WABetaInfo points out that WhatsApp already had plans for developing such a function more than five years ago, but that was not followed through at the time.
