Africa-Press – Eritrea. <\/strong><\/span>For smartphone users with fumble fingers, or anyone who sent an embarrassing misspelling or autocorrect, help is finally at hand.<\/p>\n

WhatsApp, one of the world\u2019s most popular messaging apps, has introduced a long-desired feature: the ability to edit messages after sending them.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the moments when you make a mistake or simply change your mind, you can now edit your sent messages on WhatsApp,\u201d the app said in a Monday blog post.<\/p>\n

Like Twitter did with its Blue subscription-only function, the edited texts will have a notification saying that the message was edited. Unlike Twitter, though, there will be no way to see the previous versions of an edited message.<\/p>\n

The feature will only be valid for 15 minutes after sending a message \u2013 unlike Twitter, which allows its Blue subscribers a half-hour to edit tweets. After that, there will be no way to edit the message, but it can still be deleted, with a \u201cThis message has been deleted\u201d notification in its place.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis feature has started rolling out to users globally and will be available to everyone in the coming weeks,\u201d added the blog post.<\/p>\n

As of this writing, the feature does not appear available in Tu\u0308rkiye yet, at least for some smartphones.<\/p>\n
