WhatsApp is spotted testing another exciting update to edit messages after sending them t. It would allow users to correct mistakes in their communications, such as typos. Users can do so without having to totally delete them from the conversation and start over. WhatsApp, on the other hand, has begun to accommodate varied skin tones for message reactions. The new feature is presently accessible to some WhatsApp for Android beta testers. Once the beta testing completes, it may be out to the general public soon.

WhatsApp has began testing the ability for users to edit their text messages, according to WABetaInfo, a WhatsApp beta tracker. It would appear alongside the current Info and Copy options that appear when you long-press a text message in the app.
WABetaInfo has published a few screenshots to demonstrate how the edit option on WhatsApp would work. Users can alter the text by selecting Edit from the pop-up menu after long-pressing the text message, as seen in the screenshots.
WhatsApp Testing Option To Edit Messages
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.
