With this new feature, you have the flexibility to fix typos, clarify your message, or even retract a statement that you no longer stand by. It's a small but powerful tool that can make a big difference in your digital conversations.
Display of Edited Messages
You might be wondering how the recipients of your edited messages will know that you've made changes. Rest assured, we've thought of that too. Edited messages will display an 'edited' label alongside them, indicating that they have been modified. This way, the person you're messaging will be aware that you've made corrections without needing to see the edit history.
We believe in maintaining transparency while providing the flexibility to make changes when needed. This way, you can communicate with confidence, knowing that your edits are clearly indicated.
Privacy and Security
When it comes to personal messages, media, and calls, privacy and security are of utmost importance. That's why we've ensured that the messages you send and the edits you make are protected by end-to-end encryption. Your conversations remain private and secure, and only you and the intended recipients have access to them.
With this editing feature, you can have peace of mind knowing that your messages are secure while enjoying the added benefit of making necessary adjustments.
