David C., 23 May 2023Just 15 minutes?? Seriously, what's the point of this?The point is if you type something wrong or say something by mistake you can edit it within 15 mins and change it.

Its not a feature so you can go back days and weeks and tell people you said 1 thing when in reality you didnt but then you edit it to make it look like you did.

15 mins is fine, i normally realise i did a spelling mistake or my sentence didnt make sense within 1 or 2 mins

And why do you want to see or show people the edit history? The reason why people are editing is because they made some mistakes. Why give the option to display others' mistakes? 🙁

                        I’ve been using this feature on iMessage for almost a year now, lol. Also, why won’t they allow you to see the messages’ edit history?

                          Just like another functions of whatsapp.
                          Keeo stealing and announcing as brand new.
                          Very clever move.
