JAKARTA - The edit feature of WhatsApp messages is likely to have entered the last development stage, which can be seen in the beta Web version.

According to the WABetaInfo feature tracker, WhatsApp Web version 2,2319.9 has obtained the new feature. Users who run it will see a new Edit message action in the right-click menu.

However, the ability to edit currently is limited to text messages and users will also have five minutes to correct text after sending it.

However, they can correct messages many times during that period. Then, pop-ups will be displayed to let users know they have successfully edited messages.

At the same time, this feature can be used both in individual and group chats. WABetaInfo stated, the same feature will soon be available in beta for Android and iOS.

In particular, notifications about edited messages are already available on WhatsApp for Android beta 2.23.10.10. Most likely, the latest appearance is the last step before testing features in mobile apps, as quoted from Gadget360, Wednesday, May 10.

For information, WhatsApp also recently launched an update for the Poll or Polling feature and the ability to add image captions to the documents sent.

The feature now has a new option where users can allow respondents to choose only once, so they will get a definitive answer.

Just turn off Let some answers when creating a poll. Then, when the user continues the image, they will be treated to the option to save, delete, or completely rewrite the information that was originally attached to him.

Similar to sharing images or videos, documents that users share may require a little explanation.

Whether sending newspaper articles or work documents, now users have the option to add information before sharing it.

WhatsApp stated that all these updates have been rolled out to users globally and will be available to everyone in the next few weeks.
