WhatsApp Spotted Testing Another Exciting Update

It’s unclear whether the recipient will be able to see the message’s edit status. Users are also unlikely to be able to check a message’s prior versions by looking at its edit history.

The screenshots are from from a recent version of WhatsApp for Android beta to give us a glimpse of the development. WhatsApp, on the other hand, is rumoring to be working on bringing the edit feature to iOS and PC users as well. However, the exact date of the deployment has yet to be confirmed.

WhatsApp isn’t the first company to be dabbling with text editing. The instant chat programme was working on adding Edit and Revoke functionality in 2016, according to WABetaInfo. In 2017, various beta versions of the app were updated to include more references for both alternatives. WhatsApp, on the other hand, did not make the files available to beta testers at the time.

The WhatsApp added the ‘Erase for Everyone’ tool in November 2017 to allow users to fully delete any message that contains an error. WhatsApp is investigating support for multiple skin tones for message reactions, in addition to working on the edit option.

Users can now adjust the skin tone of message reactions based on their last used skin tone in the main emojis list in the new beta version. This implies that if you used a dark skin tone for the Folded Hands emoji, the Folded Hands reply will also have a dark skin tone.
