"We discovered that there is finally news about how messages are marked as edited within a conversation," WaBetaInfo, a website that tracks WhatsApp, reported. Screenshot shared by WaBetaInfo shows that the app will display an “Edited” label on every message box to let the recipient know some changes have been made. 

The report mentioned that WhatsApp will give you exactly 15 minutes to edit a message. As happens with deleted messages for everyone, WhatsApp may not ensure that your message will really be edited if the recipient does not turn on their device within a certain amount of time (probably, a day or a little more).

 WhatsApp is also working on multiple updates including - larger chat group, blocking screenshots on 'View Once' feature, sharing documents with caption Premium subscription and more. 

- WhatsApp is rolling out the ability to add up to 1,024 participants to groups. This feature is rolling out to some lucky beta testers on WhatsApp beta for Android and iOS this week. 

- WhatsApp has also started testing a new feature for Android users that would help users to share documents with a caption. This new feature is expected to be rolled out soon for all users

-  WhatsApp is releasing screenshot blocking for view once images and videos to some beta testers. The ability is available for some beta testers that install the latest beta from the Play Store.

-  WhatsApp has started releasing Premium subscription plans for certain businesses. The prices are yet to be revealed and this will likely be different for different regions.
