In a long-awaited move, WhatsApp is developing a new feature that would allow users of the instant messaging service to edit messages after they've been sent, WABetaInfo said.
The site that oversees the experimental features of the WhatsApp application said that it discovered new features in the latest beta version of the service application on the Apple system (iOS), No. 2.23.4.72.
According to WABetaInfo, WhatsApp is developing a feature that will allow users to edit messages within 15 minutes of sending them. Therefore, this feature is very useful for correcting errors in the message or adding new information to the message before the other party sees it.
While WhatsApp now allows users to delete any message they send before the other party sees it, the feature appears to target users who do not wish to delete the message but want to edit its content before the other party sees it. .
WABetaInfo warns that the new feature only supports the latest version of the WhatsApp application and only allows editing messages, but not multimedia interpretation.
It should be noted that the feature is currently under development for WhatsApp users with an iPhone (iOS) smartphone from Apple, and will soon be available to more users participating in the beta program.
Meanwhile, WhatsApp is also testing a new feature that will allow (iOS) users to change the image quality to send images in their original quality, especially since the service is currently compressing images to save data.
This, along with a discussion of the message editing feature, is accompanied by another post from WABetaInfo, which reveals that WhatsApp is working on a new feature similar to the Channels feature offered by the Instagram and Telegram services.
Yesterday, the site said the feature (Newsletter), a tool for distributing news from an individual to a large group, has emerged as a new way for users to receive updates from individuals or groups, such as local officials, a sports team or another organization receive.
Those who want to try out the new features can sign up for WhatsApp on the Android beta program, and can also manually download and install the latest beta version of the app from here. You can also sign up for the iOS beta program here.
