WhatsApp Edit Message Feature: Meta-owned platform developing 'dedicated alert'
WhatsApp Edit Message Feature: Instant messaging app WhatsApp is known for providing updates quite often. These updates are based on the demands of users and help the app stay relevant. One such demand is of providing an option to edit messages. Recently there were reports that the Meta-owned company has been working to develop this feature. The company is expected to launch this feature for all versions of its application. Now reports suggested that the company is working on a 'dedicated alert' for the instant messaging service.
The notification will let users know that the message they are reading has already been edited.
According to the screenshot shared by WABetaInfo, the caption would read "This message was edited for everyone on this chat on the latest version of WhatsApp."
