This inconvenience for many users will soon become a thing of the past. Because the company is currently working on the fact that text messages can also be edited afterwards.

Since the online news portal “chip.de” currently reports, the sender simply has to mark the message and then select the “Edit” option. Then the message should end in the text field in WhatsApp again and can be changed as desired.
