Q: Can I Edit a Sent Message on WhatsApp, or is it Permanent Once Sent?
0Yes, you can edit a sent message on WhatsApp, but only within a short period after sending it.
WhatsApp introduced a feature that allows you to edit messages within 15 minutes of sending them. Here's how it works:
Editing a Sent Message:
Open the chat containing the message you want to edit.
Tap and hold the message you want to change.
Select the "Edit" option from the menu (pencil icon).
Make your changes and send the edited message.
Editing Limitations:
After 15 minutes, you can no longer edit the message, and it becomes permanent.
Edited messages will display a small "edited" label next to them, so recipients will know it has been modified.
So, while the ability to edit a sent message is useful, it is time-limited to 15 minutes. If you miss this window, you'll need to delete the message or send a correction as a new message.
