It is likely that sooner or later the messaging platform Whatsapp let us edit messages once they have been sent to the recipient. So far this year the application has stopped reinventing itself and innovating with new functions, some of which are very original and well received.
In this sense, a text editing tool is a very interesting option because ever since it will not be necessary to delete themas currently, it will be enough to change the content only once it has been sent to the contact.
According to the site specializing in information on WhatsApp, WABetaInfothis new tool would reach AppleiOS and Androidas well as the desktop and web versions of the instant messaging platform. This feature was announced shortly after messenger will include reactions with emojis to messages.
What WhatsApp is going to do is add one more button to the functions we find when we click on a message.

Right now we have in the menu the option to delete and shipping information. The text will be changed from the text fieldas if it were a normal new message, and not from the balloon of the message already sent.
This tool is still under development, so it’s too early to know how it will finally materialize. What is clear is that the platform is focusing more than ever on improving the user experience, introducing new ideas and concepts previously unthinkable in the application.
This option is very useful when it comes to deleting messages, an option that will not be necessary because we can edit the text directly and change its content. At the moment it is not known if we will have a time limit for editing the message, which happens with its deletion.
WhatsApp also changes states
WhatsApp states.
On the other hand, the developers behind WhatsApp are also working on a response indicator to its users’ status updates. This is an icon that will accompany the last reply in a chat when it refers to a status update, to differentiate it from the rest.
This new feature will be particularly useful for a user to contextualize their interlocutor’s response by receiving a quick reaction to one of their status updates in a future version of WhatsApp.
In the mobile application, you will need to click on Status at the bottom. In desktop and web browser versions, click the broken circle icon in the top left, next to your user profile picture.
On the Status page, you will now see if anyone has actually left a status. This is shown in recent updates. Just tap the circle to start the state. A progress bar will move from left to right along the top while the status is playing.
When you reach the end, you will return to the WhatsApp status page. Also, remember that if the status is a video, it will play with the sound off by default. To enable audio, tap once on the screen.
