WhatsApp users will soon be able to edit messages that have already been sent.
Changes will be able to be made within 15 minutes of hitting send - but the message will be labelled as 'edited'.
The company revealed details of the new feature in a blog post yesterday.
The new feature can be accessed by doing a 'long press' on a sent message and selecting “edit” from a pop-up menu.
WhatsApp says others will be aware of the correction without being able to see the 'edit history'.
