WhatsApp is rolling out a new update through the Google Play Beta Program, bringing the version up to 2.22.22.14.

[{"selector":"#anim-913a1edb-b2c2-4e66-a1b1-89aff8398f5b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":750,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e0722599-b5e0-481b-9b79-b6dcc344a633","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":750,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

WhatsApp is working on adding a label within the chat bubble if the message has been edited, for a future update of the app.

[{"selector":"#anim-93028c2e-2f1f-42d4-9bb4-dc7234d831fb","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":750,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4b07f9dd-9ee0-4ebf-8498-eef009dd7b94","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":750,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

We posted news about editing messages: thanks to this feature, users will be able to fix their typos after sending their messages.

[{"selector":"#anim-ec19290d-793d-4aa1-9ab7-3ab354377671","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":750,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3fc9a23e-e7d0-407c-b43d-01afe588158d","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":750,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The feature is still under development but thanks to the recent WhatsApp beta for Android 2.22.22.14 update

[{"selector":"#anim-21e66e15-2d48-45f5-b0ae-2dc5c10fe5d9","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":750,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4386eaa5-01af-472a-aadc-1577e0e93cea","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":750,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

As you can see in last screenshot, the label “Edited” will show up when a message has been edited.

[{"selector":"#anim-857d196f-b6c8-47c5-b886-19d8e9c51ee8","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":750,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-72b78cce-33e8-40bf-bcf1-32deea91942c","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":750,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

In addition, we can finally reveal that WhatsApp will give you exactly 15 minutes to edit a message.

[{"selector":"#anim-d4c6dff3-60bb-4b7d-bd65-47edbf25fd1e","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":750,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-45541a53-499d-48b5-91c6-c97414a06cde","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":750,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

WhatsApp may not ensure that your message will really be edited if the recipient does not turn on their device within a certain amount of time.

[{"selector":"#anim-065c5525-be67-479f-a57f-6fa6e6723da3","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":750,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d2c0c4df-2df7-4f4b-b2f0-5b5d905e80f6","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":750,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Unfortunately, this feature is under development and we don’t have any information about a release date, and we don’t even have information when a new update will be released.

[{"selector":"#anim-aeb17c56-5773-4edd-bfbd-4926547f54d4","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":750,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c08cca5f-9b45-481b-a38e-fdd60176de17","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":750,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]
