But there are a few rules to know about it.

How do I edit WhatsApp messages

You can edit WhatsApp messages after they’ve been sent for a limited amount of time.

It works on both iOS and Android.

To do it, just press and hold down on the message you wish to edit.

A menu will appear.

Select Edit.

Make the changes you need and away you go.

Why can’t I edit my WhatsApp messages?

There are a number of reasons why you may not be able to edit your messages.

First of all, there’s one important rule to remember.

You can only edit a message 15 minutes after it’s been sent.

After that, you’ve lost your chance.

If you’re trying to edit a message and you’re within the 15 minute limit, it could be that you don’t have the feature yet.

WhatsApp said it would be rolling out the option over the next few weeks.

You could check to see if there’s an app update available, otherwise you’ll have to be patient and wait.

Can people see if I’ve edited a message on WhatsApp?

Yes, people will know if you’ve edited a message on WhatsApp.

Next to the time on the message, it’ll say “edited”.

However, they won’t be able to see what changes you’ve made.
