Finally begins to materialize the possibility of edit whatsapp messages. If a few days ago to hope for the introduction of a trivial feature for those who use competitors like Telegram, all that remained was to cling to the appearance of the voice Editnow, report colleagues from wabetainfo. comsome of those who use WhatsApp beta for Android version 2.23.10.13 manage to complete the operation, to modify a sent message.
UNLIMITED MESSAGE CHANGES, BUT WITHIN 15 MINUTES
Well now the button Edit it really works other than just being there, and if the tests give the messaging app team the expected results, we will soon finally be able to edit a WhatsApp message for everyone with the stable version of the app, instead of having no choice but to delete what has been sent and write the correct message. Colleagues were able to test the editing feature, and they explain that:
- they are not here limits the number of changes to a message
- but I am allowed up to 15 minutes after submission of the same: after the quarter of an hour the message can no longer be changed
- probably to avoid affecting the integrity of the conversation
- you cannot edit a message from a different device from the one who sent it, so no changes from smartphone to a message sent from WhatsApp Web, so to speak
- the appears on each modified message wording “modified”, a bit like it already happens on Telegram
- they can be modified text messages onlyat least for now.
MODIFIED UI FOR WHATSAPP CHANNELS
The next version of the WhatsApp beta for Android, 2.23.10.14, brought to light new features regarding Newslettersthen rename to Channels as we saw last month in version 2.23.8.6. Channels, in short, are a tool by which a user speaks to many others, a type of unilateral communication that – once again – those who also use Telegram probably already know.
WhatsApp continues to develop the Channels, a sign that the intention is to transfer them sooner or later to the stable version of the app. Moreover in version 2.23.10.14 of WhatsApp beta for Android colleagues of wabetainfo. com they were able to experience one section of the app already well structured to host the novelty, there does not seem to have been a small job behind it. Of the 4 screen buttons available below, one has changed its identity: Status it turned into Updatesupdates, the new section that allows you to change your WhatsApp status and manage Channels.
The informative popup on the Canals it is already ready: WhatsApp explains that creating a channel does not generate problems of privacybecause subscribers do not see the owner’s phone number, and that the tool allows you to share news, events and more with a “unlimited” number of users. Whether it will really be unlimited is to be understood, it is possible that, as colleagues hypothesize, the ceiling on the number of users per channel is so high that it can be considered unlimited.
The ability to create channels is currently under development and will be rolled out to developers later in a future app update. Those who use WhatsApp in the stable version will have to wait both for the channels and for editing the messages, but in short: there is meat in the fire.
