Google will let you edit RCS messages

Editing messages in chat apps has been a thing for many years now, but we finally get to see some of the biggest messaging clients adopting it. Instagram recently rolled out an editing function in its chats along with Facebook's Messenger and WhatsApp. And now, Google is making it possible for RCS messages as well.

How editing works

The new feature will allow you to edit a message you've sent in the last 15 minutes, and the recipient will be able to see the original by tapping and holding on to the message itself. The tricky part is that all participants in the conversation should have the feature enabled.

It goes without saying that editing SMS messages isn't possible. The change applies only to RCS messages.

You will find more new features at the source link below. Some of them include a more convenient way to control your Google Home devices, pay with your Wear OS watch using PayPal in Germany and the US, expanded support for digital car keys and more.
